Black and White
"“Black and white allows me to detach from the cliche ‘souvenir photo’ approach to photography.”
 – Guy Gagnon

A haunting black and white photograph captures a dramatic moment as lightning strikes an abandoned Victorian-era mansion in Eaton, Ohio. The composition masterfully frames the dilapidated brick structure, with its distinctive architectural features including a prominent front portico supported by classical columns and a triangular pediment. The house's weathered facade is partially consumed by climbing vines, while overgrown vegetation surrounds the property, creating an atmospheric scene of beautiful decay. A single illuminated window in the attic adds to the ethereal quality, while storm clouds gather ominously overhead. The monochromatic treatment emphasizes the contrast between light and shadow, perfectly capturing the building's gothic character and the raw power of nature.
