Tina,
This is where you differ from the "fine art types". Those of us with
a journalistic or documentary bent tend to look at composition and
moment to capture the image to heck with worrying about weather it is
in color, B&W or if the image will be grainy or in todays parlance
"noisy"...after all the important thing it to tell the story.
I remember back when I worked news sometimes someone would say.."Hey I
am an artist!" I'd almost always respond "What in the h*** are you
working at a newspaper for? I aint no artist, I am a journalist. I
tell the story with my pictures." LOL
BTW those are very nice images. :)
