Black and White Walkway

I've been shooting black and white lately because with the weather so overcast and gray it seems that most of the color is drained out of the landscape anyway and black and white just avoids the problem of the colorless environment. And sometimes like in the photo above, black and white actually looks warmer than a color shot of the same scene. This photo was shot during a brief moment when the sun peeked through the clouds. I had one these old Takumar lenses on my camera, this one a 28mm f3.5 prime lens. It gives a quite a wide field of view with nice detail from from a few feet away to infinity.

I should start editing my pics to include black and white. I always loved shooting it but I haven't in years. Now I can't even find anywhere to process the film! One of my friends is taking photography classes in college and she told me to send my one roll to her so I did. I don't even know what's on it.
