Category Archives: Black and White
Black and white photography has been around for years but it continues to be popular. I love black and white pictures because the color doesn’t distract from the light, shape and texture of the subject.
Porto, Portugal, November 2019. Long before SARS-CoV-2 hit Europe. Street photography feels like a forbidden art now that we are all at home and we’re not allowed on the streets in any numbers.
* You obviously should not walk around with a locker like this. STAY AT HOME!

El Caminito del Rey Zip Line
The remains of a zip line that 3 young Spanish men, Antonio (Picholo), Andres (Moro), and Martin (Loco) used on August 11th, 2000. The wire was embedded in the rock wall opposite near the railway track. The three men jumped on the cable for greater speed but the wire detached from the rock wall and the men fell to their deaths. The Caminito del Rey was closed after this. You can find out more about the walk here.
A rather sombre reminder of the dangers here.
