For one who mostly photographs black and white pictures, it is always a kinda double challenge to find the appropriate image for the contests with this theme - just organic "Black and White". The only one detail in which I was sure - this will be an Analog image, due to the original start of the whole photography doing - originally the first images were BLACK AND WHITE.

This image I photographed with Fuji GA645 medium format camera on Ilford HP5 film. I took it in Jerusalem during the night torrential rain. I was sure that the frame was lost, due to the extremely low light conditions. But I was surprised by the results I saw during the developing process.

The images below were photographed on the same Ilford HP5 film just the smaller format 135. I used my Ricoh GR1s pocket camera.

Sometimes the film developing process is ending with fewer nice surprises like this one.

But for my luck as usual my results are clean enough, gust naturally grainy - it's why I love film since no one digital camera knows to produce the grain which might be similar to the grain made by the film emulsion.
