San Francisco: Portraits in Black and White

I see just too much color on this blog, and considering the wet, foggy and gloomy weather here today (of course I enjoy it all), the lack of colors just feels appropriate. 

The images are all just random, though most from China Town. I am beginning to really like the place, might just spend many weekends there...

    In effetti le foto in b/n hanno il loro fascino e puntano di più sull'argomento. Una bella serie di ritratti di persone riprese dalla strada. Bravo. ciao Cri

    Too much colour ? I personally think that among other things, it's the colours that make your photos so vibrant! These are nice but I definitely prefer your colourful ones :-)

    Wonderful black and white shots, they are all unique and great shots from daily life. I love the lady sitting and waiting for company, sad and intense. I also love the last photo of the lady enjoying the sun while nature is blossoming behind her, wow!

    This is a really nice set of street photos - I think the black and white conversion was very effective.
