I love dabbling in b&w, once the colour has been stripped away all is laid bare.
These two images were, by pure chance, side by side on my website and as I flicked between the two I had a feeling of alternating order and chaos.
Order...to me this is a 'neat' image. A place for everything and everything in its place. Wide at the base, narrow at the top, big stuff at the base, small stuff up top. The natural order of things.
Chaos...light, shadow, lines and space all over the place. Not the sort of image that will appeal to many, I can accept that, but this is becoming one of my favourite images from the desert.
I remember at the time of capture thinking "wow, look at that!" . But I had no idea of what "that" was . Just new instantly that I loved the scene before my eyes, had to capture it, had to convert to b&w and yet if you ask me what the image is about I have absolutely no idea.
Anyway, just thought I'd share.
