CAPTURING LOVE IN MONOCHROME

Life isn’t usually black & white, but sometimes images are begging to be.

While we usually revel in the color spectrum of The Meadows (like peak fall foliage in fields, or those vibrant spring greens in mature forests, or golden grasses in Meadow ceremony sites, or massive floral mural wallpaper, or the myriad of orange lounge sets we have…) sometimes removing all of those shades from a photograph leaves a more subtle imprint; sometimes, it’s actually more striking to see an image in black and white. We’re left with the essence of the person + place, no distractions.

Photographers, as all artists do, have varying approaches to the albums they offer. Sometimes an album has no B&W. Sometimes an album has two identical sets of images - one in B&W, and one in color. But my personal favorite? Albums that have just a handful of monochrome scattered throughout. These are the showstoppers… or the scrollstoppers when you’re browsing through an album.

Given Halloween (and Fall finally gracing us with her weather-presence), there’s a particularly dramatic tone to most of what is featured here. If you can keep patient until Spring broaches, we’ll be sharing our favorite black and white images that prove monochrome can feel light & bright, too.
