What lies beneath

I am into B&W pictures nowadays. Before this, I totally adore pictures with loud, vibrant colors because they catch our attention instantaneously. But after browsing through some pictures lately, I have come to a conclusion that indeed, B&W have their own beauty and inner qualities to began with.

Quote from an admirable Aussie photographer

'I feel, and it's a fact to most photographers I know that instead of the dramatic mood, that black and white brings, I believe it eliminates the distraction that color causes and forces to viewer to dive into other aspects such as composition, form and the overall aesthetic of the image. It encourages the viewer to step into the surreal side of things.'

I hereby posting up some of the B&W pics for your viewing pleasure.

Priceless expressions

White Christmas Charity Ball Pics galore

*Updated*

After attending an enjoyable Christmas party and a wonderful Christmas Ball back to back, it still doesn't feel like Xmas for me!!

Never mind, at least it's a WHITE one (snowing outside)

Merry Xmas people!

Yeap. Its the time of the year. Well, for the other university *Moscow Medical Academy* though. But I was invited, and being the only student from my university to attend the ball, I was actually nervous. Afraid that I won't be able to fit into the other crowd. But it turned out marvelous. All of them are so friendly and I had a massively great time. So many students with great DSLR cameras. LOL. It was well-utilized.

Pictures time

After the event, we took pictures again!
