Monochromatic Palouse
Though the subtle hues of the Palouse countryside usually inspire me to make color images, there are also many times when light and shadow come to the fore and I am inspired to create a black and white (or heavily desaturated) picture. Here I have collected some of my favorite monochrome Palouse pictures from the past seven years.
