Reposting because I forgot hashtags. I often hear music when I look at a photograph. So I took a stab at putting some of my images together with some music. Let me know what you think! #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhite #classicmono #photographersofbluesky #photography

Starting the month off with some different images from here and there. One from around town.

Car Sign, Bessemer, Alabama
#streetphotography #urbangaze #classicmono #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #monochrome
A rusted vintage car sits elevated on a metal platform above a small garage, with a shed, trees, and tangled power lines filling the background. A gravel lot stretches across the foreground, creating a gritty neighborhood scene that feels improvised, weathered, and distinctly local.

This week, some around town images. From last Thursday night.

Sunday School Building, Parkway Baptist Church, McCalla, Alabama
#nightphotography #south #classicmono #blackandwhite #peergroupweekly #blackandwhitephotography #photography #church
A row of church classrooms at night, lit by harsh exterior lights. Three bright doors and several dark windows sit in a brick facade beneath a low overhang. Support columns and a downspout break the rhythm, while the foreground lawn fades into deep shadow.

This week, just a few images from around town.

Propane Cages, McCalla, Alabama
#classicmono #minimalism #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #photography #monochrome
A pair of metal propane cages sit against a long concrete block wall outside a big-box store. Strong sunlight casts a hard shadow to the left, while the curb, sidewalk, and faint road striping create horizontal bands. The scene is stark, empty, and industrial, emphasizing geometry and texture.

Another from #maine. I'm going to call this #streetphotography, because I took this from the street through an open door.

Hidden Nativity, Portland, Maine
#classicmono #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhite #monochrome #fotografia #christmas #photography #fineart
A dim storage room with plastic Nativity figures partially illuminated among stacked boxes and a worn wooden ladder. The bearded figure and robed woman kneel beside a cradle, surrounded by taped cardboard, tools, and shadows. The cluttered space feels quiet, hidden, and slightly eerie.

Another image from my recent Maine trip

New Windows, Portland, Maine
#urbangaze #harbor #streetphotography #classicmono #photography #adagio #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhite
A weathered waterfront building with peeling wooden siding, faded ghost lettering, and mismatched windows lined across the facade. The lower wall shows rot, patched boards, and old pilings. A single bird rests on the roofline above, adding a quiet note to the decayed industrial scene.

This week, some random images from a recent trip.

Barber Shop, Portland, Maine
#streetphotography #maine #classicmono #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhite #bnw #PhotographersUnited
A brick barber shop façade with exposed wiring, a glowing barber pole in the window, and an open door leading into the dim interior. Ivy climbs the wall on the right, and a worn wooden bench sits below the window. The scene feels quiet and slightly weathered, a back-alley entrance in Portland.

Today is the anniversary of my first BlueSky photo post, coming over from the X place. My goal was to try to share one photo a day and see what happened. It has been a great year, and I've loved seeing so much great work. #classicmono #blackandwhitephotography #photography #blackandwhite
