Fifty Shades of Gray

The naked eye has a capacity to see more shades of gray than a camera. Ansel Adams identified nine shades of gray with his zone system creation. PhaseOne boasts of thirteen tones with their high end cameras. The naked eye can distinguish more than fifteen, if one pays attention.

I love black and white, and all shades of gray in between. The integration, blend, makes for a beautiful image, especially when all the shades are represented - enhancing the impression - the total greater than the sum of the parts.

When shades blend and compliment, it’s joyful - the differences delight, reflects the truth, oneness - different is beautiful.
