okay, i went out to my grandpas property *30 acres* and he has this really old building there, roof caving in, windows broken, brick settling... everything that screams a contrasty B&W to be...:lust so i took advantage of the situation.

Very nice Daniel... Where does your grandfather live? If close, I might pay him a visit too. (Mind you, I live in UK)
The first one really speaks to me. It would have spoken in color too, I love the moody atmosphere and the untold stories that I can sense there.
Great job!

Very nice, Daniel! What process do you use for B&W? Looks awesome. I love the old window and the brickwork. Looks like a promising site...how old is it???

Yeah, I'm with photocat on this one. The first image is killer. Love the mood, the shadows. If there had been just a little bit of dust/smoke in the air, this would have put the finishing touch on the image. And, I mean just a littttle bit. IMO it is way too easy to over do the dust in the air thing.

Really cool image.

Excellent! Both are great images, I'm partial to the second shot... Nice shooting Daniel!
