'Tree House'

A tree house built on an old oak tree appeared in front of me in the middle of the upper town. Its sudden appearance caught my attention and immediately started some old forgotten feeling of wonder, that I remember having as a boy. Do you know a child that doesn't want one? A tree house is almost a symbol of every child's independence and sense of adventure. We learn to appreciate these moments already when very young, don't we?

It can be challenging to make black and white photography. Especially in the old days when Photoshop was a far away future. The contrast, together with the tonal reflections of objects, is the most difficult part to master and it is the core of b&w photography. I kept the image in mid-level tonality because I find it to be the most beneficial for black and white stylization if an idea doesn't need special treatment. It might be the way to go in all cases that don't deserve strong contrast, out of key balance or greyed out look achieved by the use of low con filters... etc.

I added two greyed out areas to get the old look-and-feel vibe of a partially misdeveloped photo. This effort removes the perfection and adds to the overall feeling and the atmosphere of the photograph. But, you already know how I feel about technical perfection, right? :D

Enjoy! :)
