Purpose
If you see one single picture in this group that you think is not art, please say so (by commenting on it) and tell us why. If you are convincing - we will remove it. This group is to show case the most resistive pictures from the
B&W Art Photography - Is Your Art universal
If your picture has been blogged here, it means that it has appealed to over 300 art jurors for a whole week or more. Congratulations!!!
Hmmm... but what does that mean ??? well according to This ... it means your picture is "... extremely resistant to people wanting to get rid of it", :)

Drowned in Bollywood
This is an old picture of my wife, lying down and watching TV when she was pregnant....She loves Bollywood movies and their music....of which I am not a big fan.
The room was pitch dark and the only light there was coming from the TV.

Why Not Embrace The Sunset?
Why Not Embrace The Sunset?
Looking West from the Northen tip of Bray Head. . He had a nice view too, if he'd turned off his mobile phone & embraced the magic of the moment. I'ts OK, I suppose I embraced it for him... :)
(in the largest version of this you CAN actually see that he IS talking on his phone, sideways on to the beauty of that sinking star he is ignoring at the time)

Heygate
Like many post-war estates Heygate developed a reputation for crime and is soon to be demolished. I wanted to capture the utopian, 'brave new world' feel that the place must once have had, but now on the eve of its destruction.

Polio and wheelbarrows
Sharing the crack with my father last night and conversation moved to my uncle who passed away on Sunday morning at a decent age. Dad talked about how his brother had got polio at a young age and how my granny had to take him in a wheelbarrow to the doctors...a different time but not that long ago. The title of the photo sprung to mind as they used to live at Tore...a wee place on the Black Isle in the background of the shot.

Leaves
It was very cloudy outside. Lighting was perfect so I went to my front yard with my Hasselblad with 32000 ISO film loaded in it and shot whole roll trying to get this photograph. It is very dramatic in it is own way. It reminds me a lot about the ages of Pictorialism...

Fireworks
Proud of this one, set the shutter speed to 1/30 and sat there waiting for the fireworks to shed enough light on Lari's face.
