And just like that: September is here again.

For this month's Beautiful Messes installment, Stephanie and I decided to welcome the cool air of fall with the more calm, moody theme of "black and white" - which, surprisingly, we had never done before.  I've always been partial to B&W images, because I find that the intended emotion of the image is so much more visible when the distraction of color is removed.  There's certainly an appropriate time and place for color, and not all images look better in black & white.  But for the most part I prefer to tell my stories using only the basic tools of light, contrast, and texture.

We hope you all had a wonderful summer, and that you've enjoyed our messy captures along the way.  We certainly have fun documenting them. :)

Happy fall!  Enjoy!
