A different look

I was looking at this photo on the blog, and decided I wanted to try it as a black and white photo. That's actually what I envisioned when I first took it, but haven't gotten around to playing with it. This is the first attempt for this image, so I may work on it some more. I guess that would be a bit of a warning that this one could come back to haunt us more than once.

Purple Chair

I don't usually do a lot of editing on my photos. I prefer to do just what I could do in a "traditional darkroom", and I guess you could argue this could be done that way, with hand coloring. This image was kind of boring in color, but just screamed for this look. I've tried the chair in many different colors, from flaming red to a very sedate blue, but this one seemed to be just right.
