Mono Monday the Historic District New Bedford MA
Good Morning, wishing you a good week ahead
I often talk about the difference between Monochrome and Black and white photography, but today I will take that off to a tangent as allthe photos I share today are Sepia style edits
I find when walking around or more so editing photos after I have taken a walk around the Historic District downtown here in New Bedford, that I tend to like going for a sepia style for the photos,
But before I go further on that thought lets start with a photo
I am standing beside the whaling museum, which yes I still have not visited, I was going to last week, as I have said many times I should during winter when I do not get out walking, so I mentioned the idea to my wife, and she said she also would like to visit it, so why don't we go toether, but wait till it warms up in Spring, she likes the cold as mush or even less than I do :)
but anyway I am looking down the cobblestone, well belgian block street towards the JJ Bank building behind the trees

Lets talk about Sepia photography, it is a, monocromatic technique that replaces black-and-white tones with warm brown, reddish-brown, or golden-brown hues to create a nostalgic, vintage aesthetic. it was developed in the 1800s, this chemical process converts metallic silver in prints into a stable sulfide compound, which enhances the image's longevity and adds a soft, timeless, and archival quality.
The term derives from the pigment produced by the ink sac of the Sepia cuttlefish. and was originally used in the late 19th century to protect photographs from environmental pollutants (acting as a, preservative).
