Color or Black & White : What’s the Difference?
Thursday, May 03, 2012
Do remember the time when photographers carried two cameras, one holding black and white film the other color film? Now, virtually everyone uses a single camera to create both color and black and white images. Here's a portrait of series of my youngest son Jacob, 2, showing both black and white and color versions of each picture. Jacob and I decided to go for a walk the other day and he
picked out a great hat and coat combination that, honestly, doesn't quit in the cuteness department. I grabbed a camera and spent several minutes in the backyard with him before our walk. This adorable series demonstrates nicely the differences and it all comes down to personal
preference. I have a hard time deciding which series I like more. The black and white is classic and timeless, and I love how his hat shows well. Still, there's something about the color of the hat and his yellow rain coat that makes me smile. — Sean
Our friends 
Charlie in his parent's bedroom using a window to illuminate the scene. When I arrived Charlie was asleep. I love starting a newborn session with a sleeping baby. By the time we're done, baby is usually awake and hungry. I'm so glad to meet him. Congratulations Kelly and Nate on the arrival of your beautiful son Charlie! — Sean
I photographed the Werner-Roseboom family on a beautiful earlly spring day. But we didn't start outside. We actually began at the World Arena where Sam, almost seven, was having her last ice hockey practice of the season. So why would I want to photograph a family sitting during
an ice hockey practice? Well, in 2004 I photographed Glen and Chris' wedding day at the Sertich Ice Arena. They were married on the ice and drove off in a zamboni! That's also where Glen and Chris first met - playing intramural hockey. At hockey practice you couldn't miss Sam on the ice.
She was the one wearing pink pads and holding a pink hockey stick:) After hockey and a pizza party for Sam and her teammates, we finished at Palmer Park with outdoor pictures. The rest of the family, dogs Brody and Stanley, also came along. Thank you Werner-Roseboom's for a really wonderful day. We (and Abby especially) can't wait to spend more time with you! — Sean
