Posted byChuck SpindlerPosted inBlack and White, PhotographyTags:, ,

Here we go again. I’ve got some potential entries in the Black and White: People Category. The above pic (Four on a Bench) was displayed at the ISF Photography Salon in this class last year. Please let me know what your first preference is. (You may notice that some of these were also in color in the previous post.) If there are multiple selections, please rank them.

#1 – Holding Hands
#2 – Sharing a Soda
#3 – Grandma’s Love
#4 – Retro Soda Fountain

The Iowa State Fair Photography Salon is open to all, but limited to four submissions per person ($5 per submission). You can find all the details at the Iowa State Fair Competitions page. Scroll down to the “Select a Category” drop down (defaulted to “Fine Arts”) and select “Photography.” You will find “Required Reading” in PDFs. Here is a link to the “Photography Rules and Forms.“

I am a retired pastor after serving in the same church for 30 years in Creston, Iowa. Adjusting to widowhood and retirement in the same year has been rough, but I'm traveling more, visiting my kids and grandchildren, and enjoying my photography hobby (www.cspindlerphoto.com).

      1. 1&2 seem too “staged”. 4 tells a better story, great use leading line and another customer in the background feels more authentic.
        And 3 is simply a portrait of love.

      2. #4 was an attempt to replicate an old photo I found online. The man at the end of the counter had some type of uniform on in the original and my friend, a former Sheriff and Police Chief, was willing to play the part. Overall happy with the outcome.
