Black & white is alright ... right!



I remember as a kid growing up & all we had was a 22" (55cm) black & white television set, the new fangled Polaroids were black & white & all those you beaut family snaps were in ... yep you guessed it, black & white.




Up until 1975, we certainly lived in a black & white world!




However, although we now live in a colourized world, black & white photography still is able to capture the imagination by its use of contrast to give subjects a beauty that can escape the casual observer

That was taken about 12mths ago, it is the old highway over the Buledelah Mountain near Wooton, between Buledelah & Coolongolook.
