It was about three degrees in the valley when we went for a New Years Day walk. Jackson Hole is in a snow cycle and while only a few inches had fallen, in the cold air the light was glorious. Herewith a gallery of images of what we saw this morning, in the order we saw it. In most cases we have converted the images to black and white; in some cases we didn’t need to convert anything because it already was monochrome. And in some cases we have left the color in, thinking it looked best that way. Happy New Year — and so happy that already in this new year, we have taken some photographs we like.

Funk Parade 2016 Leica Monochrom-246, 50mm APO-Summicron-Asph

Last week, we published our personal faves among the various color photographs we took and published in 2016. We understand that photographers tend to be known by a particular “look” and sensibility, that many feel the need to commit to either black and white or color. We couldn’t if we tried.

We look deeply saturated colors — and the purity of monochrome. We love going out some days with our Leica Monochrom in hand, viewing the world in black and white just as if we had a camera loaded with Tri-X Pan. On those days when we are either deliberately shooting monochrome, or in the end, that’s the way we process them, we are just as happy, and in some ways even more so than when we shoot color. We love grey scale, tonalities, the otherness and permanence of an image in black and white.

The one above is our favorite for the year. Below, in no order, are our nine others. And for those who like black and white photography, we think you’ll like the galleries on our sister site, Tulip Frenzy Photography.
