I'm not much of a photographer, but I did shoot a bunch of photos as I walked to school to pick up the kids today. I like this one, because it looks like a black and white photo until you see the bright yellow sign. I love the way spots of colors pop when everything else is covered in snow, and I also enjoy looking at houses that I always assume are white only to see that this one is yellowish-white, that one grayish-white, etc.
Nice photo! It's hard to tell what's real and what's doctored these days. Around Christmas,my daughter scanned an old photo of my son & printed it in black and white with only one thing in bright yellow (a cheesehead!), so it looks kind of similar to this one. It's cool that you got your photo the old-fashioned way!

Makes me think of Schindler's List which was in b&w and that little girl in the bright red coat. That made such an impression on me. (However, this is much more light-hearted!)

That is incredible!!! My new years resolution (which was my summer resolution, but obviously I didn't get around to it) is to learn how to use my camera!!! I have a Nikon D40 digital...and so far I've mastered the "automatic" setting...which takes incredible pictures...but I feel that I am missing something not using all of the other capabilities. I want to drive around the country side and capture some of the unique and antique images before they disappear as the Triangle expands and swallows our rural hamlet in one bite!

Love this. Especially that the bright spot in the picture says "Children."
