A Monochrome photograph- Aldeburgh

Working in monochrome can be rewarding, This image shows off the shadows thrown by the fire escape on the lookout tower; using black and white accentuates these and avoids drawing the eye away by any splashes of colour. 

Looking back I should have waited until the person in the picture had walked on- not because I have anything against them but because they are not the focus of the image. That said, they serve to give a sense of scale as well as hinting at a human interaction, one assumes they had just visited the studio that operated out of that space at the time. 

The other thing about a black and white photograph is that becomes something that could have been taken at any time- yesterday or 100 years ago. The image becomes, to some extent, timeless.
