Captured in Black and White

I've to confess that I haven't been good at accepting and posting tags and I apologize to all my blogger friends who have been so supportive and kind to think of me. But this morning, Mariuca has presented me with a really fun tag which is just too cool to resist.

Here is a picture of my younger sister, Jen, and her beloved husband Wesley. This image was taken and edited by their good buddy Jonathan. I've always been fascinated by black and white pictures and it's a simplicity that never goes out of style. I love this picture because it has a feel of the romantic and sentimental touch, happy tunes of the couple. Wesley was the perfect listener, dedicated hubby, and comforting shoulder to cry on. It’s no wonder Jen is crazy about him.

} End of Copy

Rules:
Copy the quotes above from start copy to end Copy.
Replace the Photograph with your own or your loves ones’ Black and White captured moments that you want to cherish for the rest of your life.

This tag is open to anyone who wants to play. Have fun!

  25. ECL, JL,
    perhaps you can use Photoshop. there r many ppl doing it. You can alter color pictures to b&w pictures and you can even make pictures look as if it is taken from a long time ago by applying the sepia effect.

  29. Hi Ayie,
    the fact is I'm not photogenic, that's y u don't get to see many of my pics here. So I always look worse in photos than I really do.
