Gratitude Project
Day 11 – Black & White Photographs
Another gratitude, which is also inspired by my father, is the love of black & white photographs. I like photography in general, but black & white photographs are especially pleasing to me. The high contrast of the form, the extraordinary impact of light and shadow on people’s faces, is captivating to me. Everyone is more beautiful in black & white. Everyone reveals more about themselves than they mean to. When I see a black & white photograph, I feel peaceful, because it reminds me of what I already know: that humans are fundamentally good, soft, yearning creatures, who just want to lean toward the light.
