Ivo, do you mean past or present? Well, this photo was made yesterday. But it's interesting, I hadn't realized black & white might be a throw back (to the past.)
Thanks.
I started noticing this on Flickr.
It’s not really about the B&W. It’s how you compose your images, the settings, camera position, etc.
Also your color work have that feeling. Your color scheme reminds me to certain Agfa films of the seventies.
I got intrigued a while back and tried to understand why I have this feeling.
I think you use a particular framing that reminds me to the kind of shots made with the fix-focus cameras in the seventies. Combined with, for me as European citizen, unknown locations and situations, sometimes a high Bagdad Cafe mood, I guess that makes it.
I like it.
Cheers Ivo
