Black or White

We had a quick visit with the famous Balboa Park here in San Diego.


It's a huge park feauturing mostly historical museums and it's collections from art to science, it has everything... of course i have to get into their photography locale.

They feature oldies rock n roll bands and singers that day we visited like the beatles, elvis presley, etc. What i noticed mostly on that wall was a presentation of black and whites portraits. It dawn on me that you don't need to have photoshop to capture a real creation that communicates to the senses and minds... Of course i get the idea of different processing but what I mean is, portraits doesn't need to be always flawless at all to be beautiful --- although, i would like my own self portrait smooth, spotless, and immaculate *big laugh*. I am not sure why i appreciated it so much, those rigid lines in their faces {maybe because the photos were all blown up, not sure}. The expression is absolutely phenomenal even without a smile in those faces. I guess that is what you call a true work of art.
