I started off the year shooting in black and white, and for some reason I have continued in that vein into February. There’s something about the abstract, stark quality of the images I’m making that attracts me in a new way.
I took a photowalk in Wellfleet last weekend, and the bright midday sun, frigid air, and classic Cape Cod scenes asked to be captured in black and white.

Dear lucy,
Love your black&white! With so much red going on, February is the perfect month for it?xox
Thanks Cathy! I miss you! ?
Lucy, I love the starkness of these photos. The image with the lace curtain is particularly stunning, you captured every detail! I can almost feel the soft cotton between between my fingertips.
I always resolve to shoot more b/w then I give up. It’s so difficult! To me, anyway. Your images are inspiring.
These are outrageously good. Your vision is incredible.
When is that book coming out? x
