It’s the best class I almost didn’t take.
I’ll be honest, I’ve never been a huge fan of black and white photography. It’s not that I didn’t see the beauty and art of a b&w photo, but I am a color girl. I love color. I am inspired by color.
But at the last minute, I decided to go ahead and sign up for the class in part because I enjoyed the Picture Fall and Picture Winter classes so much, but mostly because I feel as though those two classes really took my photographic skills to the next level.
And I am so glad that I did.
Since I don’t have any formal photographic training, the back to basics aspect of the the first week of class (line, shape, repetition, pattern) was such great exercise and practice. 
And this week’s prompts are teaching me to play with light using exercises in rim light, high-key, and sun flare.
I just love this class and learning new things. And the cool thing is that since I’m not able to rely on color, I think I am creating stronger overall images.
If you are interested in following along, I created a new page to display my Picture Black & White photos.
Thanks for letting me share. Love, Kelly
It is a great class, isn’t it! I always grow as a photography when I take one of Tracey’s classes. She makes me think!! I love all your photos. My favorites are the church, the fence and the pier! To not really be a fan of B&W, you have an amazing talent for it!! See you in class!
cathy, you are so sweet. 🙂 thanks for the nice compliments. i love your photos too – that bumble bee was spectacular! no offense, but you are the cause of my serious macro envy. 😉 LOL
I didn’t know you were in the class! My post today is all about it too. I’m loving it!
