Fruit Crates

I liked the textures and look of the woods and brick together. These crates were stacked in an alley in Portland, Maine.

I like the texture, too, and it definitely works very well in black-and-white.

I like textures and contrasts. Maybe b/c I’m a “Fruit Cake”

I think all people who like BW tend to like texture, form and contrast. There is such a beauty to it. Cheers!

You chose a very dynamic scene and made it special in taking the color away. Nicely photographed, Chris.

Thank you, Robin. I just thought it looked like it could have a hundred years ago. The BW went with that concept. Cheers
