A day in the Life: Black and White Edition

Aimee over at This Darling Day challenged me to a Black and White Photo Challenge on Instagram. Since I feel like indoor photos, night time photos, and black and whites are my struggle, I welcomed this challenge with open arms. Read: must practice more!

How do you get your black and photos communicate nostalgia, beauty, and all things story-telling? I'm open to any and all tips! Is it more about catching stellar light? Contrasts?

Also, go check out Aimee's black and white photos. So beautiful! Also, linking-up with the wonderful Kathryn from Team Whitaker for Week in my Life 2014.
