Messing around editing a photo I’d taken of the Space Needle during my Seattle trip, I realized I really liked it in black-and-white and stripped down to a more minimalist form.
So I posted a few of these minimalist black-and-white Space Needle photos on Instagram, including one from the observation deck.


I tend to err on the side of including too much detail, so this was a great exercise in editing and simplicity.

Wow — wonderful composition. I especially love the last two.
Thanks, Mel! The composition was after the fact since these are cropped versions of photos that started out very differently.
