For A. V. Giorgio's Black And White Film Photography contest

Black and white, white and black; Is one something, the other it’s lack? They go well together each piano key, On the written page, and old photography. White and black, black and white; Doesn’t always look quite right. Depending on your contrast setting, Shades of gray might be all you’re getting. White and black, black and white; The presence or absence of light? Manipulated by shutter speed and lens, Or repetitive thatching with black pens. White and black, black and white; The artist must decide what is right. On the page, what’s most reflective Depends entirely on the viewer's perspective. Mark Halliday/WarriorPoet 20150303
