Well thanks goodness the tierneycreates Beastie got my blog restarted with her two previous posts about the quilting retreat I recently attended in Shelton, Washington: Guest Blogger: Quilt Retreat Report from the tierneycreates Beastie, Part I and Guest Blogger: Quilt Retreat Report from the tierneycreates Beastie, Part II.
She’ll be back tomorrow with Part III to finish the story, but I am slipping in today and sharing ten (10) B&W photos I took during the quilt retreat. I’ve numbered them, let me know which one(s) you enjoyed the best.

From my walk along the beach:
Black and White photography makes even the most mundane interesting in my opinion. The tire on the beach was sad (the pollution of our oceans) but beautiful at the same time when photographed in B&W.
My favorites of these ten photos are #4, #5, #9, and #10. I do love also the creepy mystery of #8 – the beach house obscured by trees.
I guess if I had to just choose one then I would choose #9. The beach was covered with oyster shells.
As I mentioned at the start of this post, I am just briefly popping in on the story of this retreat, the tierneycreates Beastie will finish up the story of our adventures tomorrow.

My favorite is #9. I think by taking the color out the forms take on more importance.

Number 10 is my favorite. It didn’t read “tire” to me, so I was surprised!

In black and white the creepy beach house looks like it should be part of the treehouse in Disney’s Swiss Family Robinson. #9 is my favorite. I love how B&W photos draw your eye to details that would be easily overlooked in their colored version.

Hello Beth, thanks for stopping by and sharing your favorite! I love #9 too. I agree – that does look like a serious tree house!
B&W photos are magical, I will torture you all to more in the near future as I took a bunch on a recent trip to Chicago.

I love them all, but 9 is the most stunning I think. Hope the retreat was fun and productive!

Isn’t digital photography wonderful! We can take as many pictures as we want, modify them in many ways, and then just discard the extras at no cost and with no waiting for film to be developed! (Yes, I do suspect you’re old enough to recall “film” and “developing”!)
