as promised, some black and whites


About the pictures...

After looking through the following pics, you might be thinking that the color choices have much to be desired- well, here's the disclaimer:  we were only looking to get a good black and white of W (by himself) to go with some other B & W's of the whole family that we have framed and hung.  As a result, we put pants on W that would contrast enough with the blue sheet to make a good B & W, and it worked.  The shots of C & T were done at the end because they wanted in on the action.  They were done more hastily than the initial ones of W which is why they're not centered or focused as well, and why the couch showed up in a few of the frames. 

Unfortunately, we haven't had time yet to compress any of the converted B & W files to a small enough format to upload to blogger (long story, basically boils down to getting the RAW into a JPEG that's less than 8 MB which we haven't figured out how to do yet with the Canon software), so all you'll see below are the original color 'prints'.  Take our word for it though, the B & W's of W turned out great.  Same thing with the Sepia's for any relatives that want those.  At any rate, we'll try and get some of the B & W's posted today.
