McLaughlin & Hayes Hat Co.

Milwaukee, WI

Following a visit to the McLaughlin & Hayes Hat Co. store on the south side of Milwaukee, WI, I photographed a few scenes that are paradoxical to the gentrification of this neighborhood.

A great store in the midst of a gentrifying neighborhood.

Would love to have heard the zoning hearings that allowed this land use configuration to be approved.

CLondon52w17: Monochrome

From the C.London website: "While you may be familiar with monochrome referring to black and white, it actually refers to anything which uses solely one color value. Those images you see where there is overwhelmingly one color present are monochrome, for all intents and purposes. We see this technique often in those hazy sunrise/set shots, but it is also a very impactful technique for street shots."

Went walking around the neighborhood today with the intent of making a photograph for this week's CLondon 52 Week challenge using a new lens for the first time.  Problem is I came away with several images that can qualify (some with more processing than others) and not sure which one to use.

This street photo only required a simple b/w conversion and some tweaking in LR.  I'll post a monochrome color image as well later this week.
