This weekend my wife and I took a ride through Hunterdon County, stopping for lunch in Lambertville. Lambertville is one of those small pricey towns that are converting every available inch of retail space into an antique store. While many of the building are genuinely old, many more are being restored to look older – or so it seems. Unfortunately, goods and services reflect 2009 prices! But if you look hard enough there are genuine artifacts that show their age in a graceful way.
I’m one of those people who feel that the only way to capture that time capsule is in B&W. When you mention B&W to today’s youthful photographers the “B” words seem to come up – “blah” and “boring.” With a minimal amount of Photoshop magic, B&W and color can be combined to draw the viewer’s attention to that which the photographer wanted to capture.
