“Black and white photography is truly quite a ‘departure from reality’, and the transition from one aspect of visual magic to another was not as complete as many imagine.” —Ansel Adams

Business Sunday is taking (at least) a month-long hiatus as I debut a new feature focusing on outdoor portraiture. Let me know  if you would prefer to keep this feature going or would rather I bring back Business Sunday.

At the time I made the photograph of my home, I was working as an engineer for a Great Metropolitan Telephone company and trying to make my way as a professional photographer at nights and  weekends. Just a few years years after I made that photograph, my life drastically changed

One of the things that I’ve wanted to do for several years was to have regular meet and greet events over coffee or tea and be able to informally chat with readers of this blog and watchers of my YouTube videos about cameras and photography.

My plans for a Saturday PhotoWalk were simple: I planned to dust off my black body Panasonic Lumix GX1 (more later,) then charge the battery and then stroll down MainStreet in Parker, Colorado, shooting some black and white images of street scenes.
