Black and White
Since it’s introduction to the world over one-hundred-seventy years ago in Europe, black-and-white photography has been a significant tool utilized to document present life. Even after color photography’s discovery, black-and-white photos have been some of the most impactful story-telling tools utilized throughout time. Twentieth century photographers such as Lewis W. Hine and Ansel Adams exemplify how powerful the art and emotional impact of black-and-white imagery can be, both treating the art with intent passion, rather than seeking instant gratification like many modern day hobby-photographers. Taking a photograph in black-and-white requires more thought, more time, and more feeling, and that’s precisely why we chose it as our Sunday-to-Sunday theme this week. –Autumn Vandiver

There’s something incredibly special about polaroid film. With the days of disposable cameras almost completely behind, it’s nice to be able to take a photo that only lives in the physical world, rather than the digital one. Even a digital photograph of a polaroid can only barely do the art justice. -Autumn Vandiver
