    This is my submission for the Black and White Wednesday - 4th of April 2012. Please find my other posts in this series over here.

    "To the complaint, 'There are no people in these photographs', I respond, There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer."

      There is always a certain drama with B&W Photographs...

      Absolutely brilliant! Amongst the 'business' and artificiality of life, some images ring true 🙂 !

      Ahhh...such beautiful and calm pictures. Love the mood you were able to capture. I especially like to vintage cutlery - where did you get them from? I have such a hard time finding things like that...

        These spoons I bought from Kolkata, India 🙂 I think the shop called these antique queen spoons or something like that.

        That bottle is easy available out here. A very famous dairy product 🙂

      Ordinary items (besides the first one which I have no idea what it is..?) but you take beautiful photos of them...

        That's called 'quaich'. It's gift by a friend from Scotland. It's a kind of a traditional drinking glass 🙂 I at times, use it as a prop 😛

      Lovely pics, and so true what Ansel said. I often use the same milk bottle for shoots 🙂
