Bob, I always enjoy your photos and am jealous that you can pull these off in public without getting socked. I'm not sure how it would go down for me.
But I notice that these are never truly black and white photos because there is always a tinge of color, yellow, I suppose, in them. So I wanted to ask if that was an intentional part of your processing?
Thank you Douglas, Steady, VilleK, and Big Appa, for looking and commenting.
Thanks for the kind words, square. Why would I get socked? I ask permission. If they say no, I wish them a nice day and move on. The tinge of yellow concerned me. I put the above image in Photoshop and went to the info panel. The R, G, and B values are equal wherever I place the cursor. I suspect that the color is a function of your monitor.
I have a few more in this series that I'll post this week.

It may very well be, and that's good baseline info for me to adjust from. This MacBook Pro is probably not the best monitor to observe/edit photos from.
'Getting socked' was a tongue-in-cheek phrase. Maybe stepping out and asking people will be a more positive event than I anticipate it to be. I don't know - anyone reading this ever have an adverse event occur when taking public photos? It seems to me to be a heck of a lot of fun and I'd love to do it, too.
Thanks, square ad joshua. The effect is fun - the trick is to spot couples who are in a good mood and playful. I misjudged a couple once and felt badly when she just "wasn't into" the idea.
