I'm not so much interested in black and white photography as much as I in this sort of thing: http://www.flickr.com/photos/charlesbodi/123158595/in/set-1777343/ I’m strictly digital.

I find black and white more forgiving in funky lighting situations. At least if it comes out looking like crap you can claim it's an "art" shot. Just curious, do you experiment with film or are you entirely digital? If you can lay your hands on a cheap decent medium format film camera, landscapes and urbanscapes can come out looking amazing. Of course you really have to know your stuff, especially if you end up with a twin lens reflex camera- two lens framing two slightly different images!

But even still, look at the pics of the General Dynamics building. For one thing, I could have used a wider lens, but more important, it was so bright out (middle of a summer day in Phoenix) that the camera's automatic settings caused the photo to come out underexposed. Wrong lens, wrong exposure, and above all, wrong time of day! Well, these are the good ones. But even still, look at the pics of the General Dynamics building.

You have (or your wife has) a good eye for composition! The General Dynamic building just doesn't have the inherant beauty of the beach in Florida or Chicago skyline, but it does have it's own industrial charm. Obvious that someone had been to the Sears Tower! Keep up the lens work.... I thought everything looked great. You have (or your wife has) a good eye for composition!
