Greetings esteemed Steemians, it's always my honor to be part of this amazing contest. Black and white photography has been dated to be an ancient photography. But the tricky question remains "why is it still popular till date?" For me, I'll say the answer remains that it's the foundation of present-day photography. The details given by the type of photography are just top-notch. Walk with me as I share the black and white photography I created. ![PXL_20250216_092331858.PORTRAIT~2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeCwg2gUKyUuAuLpysGDWx9PevsGc3NfLaQG7WDD45aSC/PXL_20250216_092331858.PORTRAIT~2.jpg)

PICTURE 1

| |- Someone saw this picture and tagged the phrase I can never forget. In his words, he says "Black don't crack". This picture was taken during the time we went for bush clearing in preparation for the farming season. During the clearing process, I was so tired that I had to use my phone to navigate my path there. My mindset took to the photography world in which I took this masterpiece. ![IMG_20250205_132432~2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcS3XE4W8eQXxzi5rYVUe5R1STHA6EBBB19uxpT9eK8Dy/IMG_20250205_132432~2.jpg)

PICTURE 2

| |- If you have ever been in a school setting and the settings of the school didn't pass through you, then you have to try again. This setting of the school is seen in friends hangout at their respective houses. During an exam day, we were told that the exams was by 3pm. So, I stayed at a friend's house to read which we cooked eventually. This picture is just a memory of the event there. The food story during visits to @nsijoro place is yet to be revealed which I'll do justice to it some day. ![PXL_20250206_135442086~2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfK1AuBSuGRFkde8TBZSK6sHU89v2UwLrCVTf85DS1WM6/PXL_20250206_135442086~2.jpg)

PICTURE 3

| |- The picture shows a typical lecture hall in the University of Uyo. Since it was a revision class, the students weren't found in their numbers. The picture didn't show a multitude of students but one that can be optimized for faster learning. I invite @bossj23, @pandora2010 and @alexanderpeace to this contest.
