Black and white

This picture is only an attempt, my black and white photography is very amateur. Anyway i think the real B/W photography is the one done in the past with the good old cameras. Probably its what everybody says, but is the truth. Haven't you ever seen famous photographs such as this one by Robert Doisneau?

There are so many other photographer artists that are unknown and so is their beautiful artwork and so many photographs that are only know by advertising and commercials. I'm not saying its not right not to be known if your artwork is I'm saying it's worse for our popular culture.We like something we sometimes DON'T understand but that doesn't change anything, we could learn so much more if we would know the not only the art piece but the artist too. It's much easier to understand art, that's what a I learned after 16 long years.

Returning to the subject nowadays there are more and more photographers that surprise us with incredible pictures sometimes taken in their city, in their house. You don't need to go to other countries, or be in the middle of a battlefield or natural disaster to impress showing a reality. Realities are everywhere, waiting for someone to show them to the world or just be forgotten.

Here is one of my favourite artists but this time his role of photographer, Anton Corbjin

I got to know him thanks to the wonderful collaborations he did for some of my favourite bands like Nirvana, Depeche Mode or U2 in photography and videoclips. If you want to know more about that :
