Although the great Black and White masters, like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston for 35 years, have inspired William, he has pursued color landscape photography with a passion since college. However, with the use of Photoshop conversions to BW from the digital scanning of 4x5 film as well as digital capture, he is revisiting the roots of his photographic inspiration.

This eBook includes an essay where William writes about his early study of Black and White, his favorite BW masters, his job at The Ansel Adams Gallery, and the techniques used for his conversions. He selected 52 photographs for this digital portfolio, ranging from classic western landscapes to intimate details of nature. Locations include the coast of New England, the deserts of the Southwest and his backyard in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The selection covers a wide span of William's career, with photographs dating from 1982 to many recent digital captures created as recently as 2008.
