The cloud reflections in the windows initially attracted my attention. Another image well suited to Black & White I believe.

Unattended
Another “Cartier Bresson” moment. This time in Black & White.
Under a Blanket
Shadow Spines
Another image well suited to Black & White I think.
Texture
Tactile
I have always thought, that bamboo exemplifies texture. In this image, I purposely focused on creating a black & white high key photo.
Columbia
This image is from my 2011 portfolio, converted to Black & White. A dramatic winter sky over the Columbia River. The original image is in atmospheric shades of blue.
Rippled Leaves
Rippled Leaves
I discovered this botanical image while editing my body of work recently. Sometimes it’s good to see things with fresh eyes. Originally captured in color, I converted this image to black & white — a superior photo in that format — bringing out all the textural nuances I believe.
Foggy California Morning
Shades of Gray
The fog drifting through these conifers just lent itself to this black & white image.
Turbulent waters
Turbulent waters
I took this photo in the Sierras. I heard a thundering roar from the car window and decided to park and investigate. This is what I found.
After the Fire
This was an amazing sight: a fire had destroyed much of the vegetation on a sand dune of all places, but (a year later I’m guessing), the miracle of new life had sprung up in the dunes. This black & white version lends a different kind of drama to this landscape image.
