As photographers we sometimes get wrapped into nostalgia.  Defined as "a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations."   But that is not all bad.  In fact it is one of the things that make our photography timeless and important to us.

For this series we are going to focus on Nostalgic Black & Whites.  But more importantly how can we evoke the timeless nature that oftentimes exists in Black & White Photography.   When you remove color from your images you can sometimes remove a particular emotion and often times change the focus and impact of your completed work.  

This series is designed to build upon our first series about The Vision of Black & White and our second series on Intentional Black & Whites.  We welcome back two past speakers while making way for two influential black & white instructors.  Together we will explore some of the timeless techniques employed to create images that resound with your soul while also exploring new techniques and considerations like converting Infrared to Black & White and considerations for Post Processing that did not exist in the dark room.
