Those are quite amazing. There is something about black and white that is really raw and nostalgic for me. When I was growing up my dad had a black and white darkroom because he was color blind and wouldn't have been able to tell if the colors were right. We took a crap ton of photos in black and white growing up so we could develop them ourselves.

Thanks mate, much appreciated.
Black and white shots are great...I grew up when that's the only choice people had I guess,, when I was a little kid, and often like going through the boxes of old black and white photos I have. Funny...my grandfather was a photographer and processes on black and one and colour...black and white primarily though.
That is cool. I remember my dad had a private lab that he used to send his stuff out to when he did color. It was only later that we started getting them processed at the local convivence store.
One of regrets is that I didn't take more interest in my grandfathers two loves: Photography and woodworking/carving. I was a kid though I guess and kids will be kids. I suppose this is why I suggest to people to get involved while they can, parents and grandparents won't be around forever.
Yes, very good point! My dad is still around, but he doesn't have any of his equipment anymore. It was always something he and my sister bonded over. Him and I always had computers as our shared interests.
I recall you mentioning him before, I guess my comment above was a subtle reminder to get it done...Not just to you, I know you know you should, but to anyone else who reads it.
