Eerie. This word swirled in my head as I explored Merilee Mitchell‘s moody monochrome world in Tuesday’s post on black and white photography.
Something eerie has a story to tell — one you aren’t quite sure you want to know. Finding inspiration in Merilee’s work, as well as celebrations like Halloween and Día de los Muertos, let’s go out and capture black and white images that are eerie.

OK so this photo isn’t quite black and white although I have altered the saturation and hue a bit, but I wanted to leave a bit of colour in this photograph from WWII as I think the drab khaki uniforms and the furled Union Jack add to the atmosphere. I have always found looking at this poster with the goggles and scarf covering the face of a soldier makes the hairs on the back of my neck rise. It tells me a story. I hope it tells you one too.

I simply LOVE this picture! The colors are awesome!
Thanks 🙂
I think there’s a story in that..
Drawn back constantly to the haunting image of the soldier in the gas mask! That’s what it’s all about!
Well done Jude, and regards as always. Pete. X
It is a haunting image Pete. Exactly that.
