Reposting because I forgot hashtags. I often hear music when I look at a photograph. So I took a stab at putting some of my images together with some music. Let me know what you think! #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhite #classicmono #photographersofbluesky #photography

Next two weeks, some different images from my October trip to New England that didn't fit into any of the previous themes.

Flower Boxes and Windows, York, Maine
#streetphotography #classicmono #blackandwhitephotography #photography #fotografia #bnw #blackandwhite
Black-and-white image of a white clapboard façade with two evenly spaced windows above a tall slatted fence. Two dark flower boxes sit in deep shadow along the base, their foliage spilling over. Strong afternoon light casts a wide diagonal shadow across the wall, creating a calm, geometric rhythm

Ok, wrapping up this week's theme of Maine lighthouses.

Rocks at Pemaquid Point Light, Maine
#stunday #photographersofbluesky #classicmono #monochrome #rocks #maine #blackandwhite #photography
Black-and-white photograph of Pemaquid Point in Maine, showing dramatic, striated rock formations leading up toward a small lighthouse and cluster of buildings on the horizon. A dark line of evergreen trees rises behind them, and heavy clouds fill the sky, creating a moody, weathered coastal scene.

Another from this week's lighthouse-themed images

Plum Island Light, Massachusetts
#classicmono #blackandwhite #lighthouse #blackandwhitephotography #bnw #bright #BlueSkyArtShow
Black-and-white photograph of Plum Island Light shot from a low angle, with the sun positioned directly behind the lantern room. The lighthouse rises in silhouette against a smooth sky, creating a glowing halo around the top. The clean lines and dramatic light give the image a minimal, sculptural feel.

This week's theme - Maine lighthouses

Portland Head Light, Maine
#maine #lighthouse #scape #classicmono #blackandwhitephotography #photography #blackandwhite
Black-and-white coastal photograph of Portland Head Light in Maine. The tall white lighthouse and keeper’s house stand on jagged rock cliffs overlooking a dark, rippled Atlantic Ocean. Heavy clouds fill the sky, and the scene conveys solitude, endurance, and the stark beauty of the Maine coast.

From my trip last month to Maine to see lighthouses. It's hard to find something that isn't like every other image of these lighthouses.

Window, Portland Head Light, Maine
#classicmono #lighthouse #minimalist #blackandwhite #photography #blackandwhitephotography #maine #window
Black-and-white photograph showing the side of Portland Head Light in Maine. The image focuses on the curved white lighthouse wall with a single dark window centered in the frame. Subtle tonal textures in the weathered stone emphasize light, shadow, and stillness, evoking quiet coastal endurance.

New England lighthouses all this week. Sometimes, they are way offshore.

Looking at Ram Island Lighthouse, Portland Head, Maine
#scape #classicmono #monochrome #lighthouse #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhite #photography #shore
Black-and-white photograph of a four-lamp coastal signal array mounted on a concrete base, facing the ocean under layered clouds. A distant lighthouse stands on the horizon, faintly visible across the water. The rocky foreground and calm sea evoke the machinery and endurance of maritime navigation along the Maine coast.

Last post of my series Off Season, New England

Chairs and Floats, Portland, Maine
#stunday #classicmono #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhite #travelphotography #bnw #photography #maine
Black-and-white photograph of a dockside wall covered with lobster buoys and fishing gear. Three empty chairs sit before a row of stacked traps and weathered wood siding. The textures of rope, wood, and metal create a rhythmic pattern, evoking the stillness of a working harbor during the off season.

Next to last image in my Off Season, New England series.

In Storage, Old Orchard Beach, Maine
#classicmono #carnival #maine #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #bnw #bnwphotography #monochrome
Black-and-white photograph of a seaside amusement area, showing a closed ice cream booth beneath a Ferris wheel structure. The booth’s cartoon graphics contrast with the empty asphalt and steel shadows surrounding it, evoking the quiet disarray of an amusement park in winter.

Another from Off Season, New England

Viewmaster #2, Portland Head, Maine
#maine #classicmono #newengland #coast #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhite #bnwphotography
#scape #seascape
Black-and-white photograph of a coin-operated viewer overlooking a rocky coastline beneath a cloudy sky. A damaged wire fence lines the foreground, and the horizon stretches flat and gray across the sea. The scene feels cold and austere, capturing the quiet endurance and solitude of the Maine coast in the off season.

Another image from Off Season, New England

Readings, York Beach, Maine
#streetphotography #blackandwhite #bnwphotography #shadows #classicmono #monochrome #blackanwhitephotography #mobilephotography
Black-and-white photograph of a row of closed storefronts. In the center, a psychic’s shop advertises palm readings for $10, flanked on both sides by windows for a pizza restaurant called “Woody’s Brick Oven Pizza.” Sunlight and shadow split the façade diagonally. The windows are dark, chairs empty, and the scene radiates a quiet, ironic stillness typical of a beach town in the off season.
