This week’s Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge (CB&W) topic is Locks and Clocks. You ask why two totally separate topics? The answer is simple I just thought the rhyming sounded cool together. So you have a choice of featuring either locks or clocks and preferably both items. Have a lot of fun with this topic. Sepia tones and selective color are always allowed in this challenge. I just want you to have some fun with your photography.
For a list of upcoming topics, please see the list at below. Be creative and challenge yourself. For a great black and white photo look for contrast or highly textured subjects to photograph.

Beautiful contrast in the locks and clocks. I can see now how much locks fascinate – I am always curious as to why something needs to be locked away and the significance of the time on the clocks is always intriguing. Thank you for inspiration Cee. Appreciate and value it. Wishing you a great weekend.
