I LOVE this! Outstanding capture.
Well-weathered - and a perfect subject for B&W!
Hurray for wood and shapes.
I'm not often a lover of black and white but this I love. It makes me want to get out my pencils and attempt to draw those wonderful angles and lines.
Unusual photo! I like it.
You are the king of black and white. (In addition to being the Door Man of Tulsa.)
Looks great in B&W Bill.
