Do You Need Color to See the World?

On By Isobar ExpeditionsIn Photo Challenge7 Comments

We love seeing different locations around the world and their images are definitely framed in our minds. However, as we were growing up, we used to see images of famous locations and not all of them were taken in color. Does seeing a landmark like the Eiffel Tower in black and white take away from the beauty or sense of awe? We have shared some of our favorite landmark photographs previously, but here we take the same images and are sharing them in both color as well as black and white. When you look through the images, does your opinion change of the landmark based on whether it is in color or not?

Where Does All of the Time Go?

Days, weeks, months, years; the all seem to be flying by these days. One of our favorite quotes is, “life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes”. Funny, but also too true. We’ve been extremely busy lately, which seems to make time go by even faster. This is our first attempt at Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge and this week’s challenge is Locks and Clocks. We like black and white photography, it can sometimes be even more striking than a color photograph. Admittedly, we consider ourselves amateur photographers at best, but it has been fun to take some of these challenges from time to time (pun intended). This particular photo is of the Clock Tower Building in Manhattan.
