Another Grungy Black and White

I've been reading a lot of entries at iffles.com lately, and one thing she's got going there is a monthly theme project, where each month she has selected a theme, and invited her reader to submit photo entries into the monthly theme Flickr pool.

I've been a casual observer until this month, which is "Mono" ... ie. black and white photos.

Id been wanting to try my hand at some more b&w photos anyways, so figured it was a good bit of inspiration to get out and do it.

So I took my camera with me to work today, as I knew that right alongside of the warehouse I was at had a railway, with a graffiti'd wall, and a chainlink/razor-wire fence... which I figured would make for an interesting gritty b&w photo.

Took a bunch of shots, and tonight I played around with the conversions to greyscale, and worked at trying to introduce a gritty look that I thought fit the 'decrepit' kind of scene.

Let me know whatcha think. :)
