Black & White Cityscape's

First post! So i found this picture just looking on google, on a "William Joseph"s gallery. I chose to look more into his gallery because i used to live in Oregon, and it seems that Mr. Joseph gets a lot of his material from Portland (where i used to live) and the surrounding area. It also looks like William likes black and white, and he has a lot of old photos, from around the 1950's and such. If you would like a link, here you go:

So this first picture i found interesting because it has like a fog in it. 

I think that fog isnt used very much in photography, because photographers like their

pictures crisp, so you can see details and it looks more like photography, not like paint

or something you can smear. But i like this image because its not like a lot of other

photography, and its not modern either.

This picture is also of Portland, but back in the day, in 1948. I like pictures that 

have delay on them, mostly urban scenes with all the lights, it makes it look cool. 

I also like thsi picture because it has several signs that it's not modern day, and you

can pick them out and try and guess how old this picture is, and in what time period 

it was taken in. Let me revise my earlier statement about delay photos: I like them 

when its nighttime, and delayed in a cityscape. Then they look best, in my opinion.

The street and lighter colored buildings contrast with the dark sky, and it gives you

the feeling the city is lit up even when the picture is black and white.
