I spent a little more time this week working on the photos from Grand Central Terminal in NYC. I originally saw this as a series in color because of the green backdrop of the mural of the constellations, but the more I look work with and view the images I think the architecture and the space is shown off better in warm toned black and white images....
What do you think? (There are no wrong answers. I am curious what you think.)
Keep Makin' Art!

I don't know Cuz.....Having grown up visiting Grand Central as a kid, I remember the colors....But the way you show it in black and white somehow "speaks" to me....Either way, love the phots...But again, I'm alittle bisae when it come to your work....xooxoxRie
Thanks Rie! I am still trying to decide, but I think the B+Ws speak to me the strongest.
What can I say? Superb!
Thanks Dave!
I think I agree with you, Carl. If what draws you as an artist the most is the architecture, the warm B&W seems the most effective to me. The constellations show up well, so that is not lost.
I used to see Grand Central when I was little, and what I remember is the grandeur and details. Unlike Rie, I don't remember color at all. I love the warm tones of the stonework in the first COLOR photo of the 1/15 group. But that is what I remember of ALL the color when I was a kid. That neutral beige, and the detailing.
I'll stop blithering. I really love this series. Dave said it just fine.
Thanks Jeannette - I am really pleased with these and will be putting one of them in the show at St Catherine of Bologna that I show in each year.
