I do like the monochrome - but not exactly black and white photo - so appropriate for Blenko! All photography was originally monochrome, most of these photographs were black and white.Even after color film was readily available, black-and-white photography continued to dominate for decades, due to its lower cost and its "classic" photographic look. It is important to note that some monochromatic pictures are not always pure blacks and whites, but also contain other hues depending on the process. The Cyanotype process produces an image of blue and white for example. The albumen process which was used more than 150 years ago had brown tones. Now Janis tell us about this technique. hjh

This scene reminds me of Willy Wonka, letting people into his chocolate factory. Until today, I didn't realize the beauty of the Visitor Center sign.

Now, monochrome is as simple as clicking a button on iPhoto. Black & white is colder, sepia is warmer. Monochrome puts emphasis on the people and the events without the distraction of color.
This scene, especially the visitor center letters, just seemed to glow in sepia; so, I converted it.
