Some Things are a Matter of "Black and White" (and 254 Shades of Gray in-between)

GRAYSCALE -- a range of gray shades from white to black, as used in a monochrome display or printout

While there are literally millions of colors -- hues, tints and shades -- from pure WHITE to Solid BLACK -- there are, for print purposes, 256 gradations.

Restoration and Preservation of old photographs … including creating derivatives (while saving the originals) … is something I love to do. Here's an example …

Come over to the dark side … then … you can lighten up and hedge your bets in the mid-tones.

Something for everyone.

I wonder how many modern folks remember the pleasure of communion with trees and Rivers?

Beautiful and thanks A Mac.
