The Letter E (series) #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I happened to be eating some pretzels when I looked at one before I ate it, and look what I found. It could easily be a W or an M, but let's face it, the letter E is far better than those.

Cold Winter Angles #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I think winter is a great backdrop for photography, especially the black and white kind. There is such depth and character in each image. It's like a piece of history, frozen in time; unmoving, almost lifeless—like Mother Nature in a self-induced coma.

Blustery Winter Day #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Winter is a different kind of animal. Some people like it, some people hate it. As long as I don't have to spend a lot of time outside in it, I can manage. I took this as I left one of my son's Jr. Jazz basketball games. Brr...

Ashtray Treasures #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Anyone with kids knows that no matter what, eventually one or more of their toys will migrate to the family vehicle. Depending on the amount of children you have, this could be as simple as a car or small doll. In my case, it's like freaking Noah's ark for toys.

Star Light, Star Bright #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

This is a decorative piece in our house. It caught my eye the other day and I'm glad it did. Just look at the detail. Awesome.

Night Life, Snow & Rain #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Don't know about the title on this one, but it's late, and I am tired, so it will have to do. Driving at night sucks as it is; driving at night in the rain and snow is even worse. No worries, we were stopped at a light when I took this picture.

Old School Character #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

This is a shot of the rec-center floor where my son plays Jr. Jazz. Can't really tell from this pic, but it looks like there's at least 80 coats of wax or polish on this floor.

The Three Wise Bumps in the Snow #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Thought this was kind of an interesting thing I came across the other day. It's obviously a bike rack, but with the snow, it disguised it just enough.

Into the Fog #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I love fog, for some strange reason. Don't really like to drive in it, but there is something really cool about it—maybe it's part of the zombie kick I've been on lately. This is just outside of our neighborhood, which is in a bowl, so when the fog hits, we get it good.

Zombie Leaves #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Funny thing, when I took this picture (at my new place of employment), I thought of this exact title. Thinking that leaves are like zombies is weird, but for some reason, at that time, it made perfect sense.

The Hills Are Alive #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I took this shot looking out my back door before we were blanketed in snow. You can view a similar color version of this on my Flickr account (click here).

Oh My Lovely Rock Garden #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Took this shot in between shoveling rocks into a wheelbarrow and dumping that wheelbarrow outside of my "property line". What a pain...

Show Me Those Muscles #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Ah, toys from the past. I broke these out of storage the other day, just to remember being a little kid and take this pic.
