Lately I have had an increased interest in converting photos to black and white. To that end, I decided it was time to showcase my best black and white equine photos in a post. Some of these photos you’ve seen before if you read this blog, but some of them are new. I hope you enjoy this expressive but colorless look at one of my favorite types of photo subjects: the horse!
