Carl Malany, East Coast from Heartland
If you are expecting words strung like coloured lights down a wet street at night there is little solace here. There are however some images and perhaps now and then a word or two from myself and others who say it better.
And so why warm black? Because it is rich. Because it has substance. Because Bill Cosby said "It isn't a matter of black is beautiful as much as it is white is not all that's beautiful." Because it reminds me of the colour of a safe lit darkroom. Because "warm black blog" rolls off the tongue. Because I have colour photographs I like of warm black New Zealand skies. Because I have black and white photographs I like that have warm black shadows. Because warm black shadows create light as much as light creates warm black shadows. Because Groucho Marx said "A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere." Because no one else has used this name for their blog. Because it is as full as white is empty. Because it is not one thing.
