I’ve become enamored with Cole Thompson’s black and white images… he has that high contrast, nearly infrared look that I love so much. Take a look at his galleries:

This panoramic shot of clouds is one of my favorites–open that browser window, it’s pretty wide.
If you like his work, drop Cole a note. I’ve chatted with him a couple of times and he’s a great guy.
