The Continued Goodbyes

Today was my last full day in California before I head off for school. I spent the entire day packing and shopping/hanging out with family. I did not entirely focus on my photography efforts, but I did manage to get some shot in. One medium I like to have fun with in the post-shot is black and white. Black and white allows the photographer to use a lot of contrast on the subject, causing a more dramatic effect. If you notice in my past black and white days, the same effect is given on the people, giving the subject more emotion, greatly enhancing your images.
