color -vs-black and white



All of the work I do keeps me in color, but there are days i just want to push something through that's black and white, it brings something to the table that's missing.

When I look at this stairway I flash back to the old books on Architecture, and my mind says this is suppose to be in black and white. However what sells a house is the stained floors, the wood steps and the metal rail all the way to the top, i doesn't hurt that the blue sky and green tree is in the window either
As we move back into the style of yesterday there is more and more of this appearing. And i enjoy seeing this.
I am thinking about this but what do you think?

what you dont see

I spend a lot of time looking for the right picture in any house i photograph, it is important to me and even more important to the sale of the house which is why i am there to begin with.
The down side is that sometimes I spend just as much time looking at what will not look good in a picture.
In this home i looked at what not to shoot.

WHAT? are you serious, that house is ready to sell, open house time!
