THE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY SERIES; ARCHETYPAL IMAGES

'Time: The Dawn Of'
by Michael G. O'Brien

There seems to be something in black and white images that allows them to channel archetypal images that strike chords deep within us. These images can go beyond personal meanings to express something more universal. When I saw these people paddling out on the water with their rudimentary boards I felt connected with my ancestors who had done this since humanity's beginnings.
 
To process this image I used Analogue Efex from Nik software. I find that this gives me options that expand my ability to finish RAW file of an image the way I 'saw' it originally at time of exposure.
