Colourless Contrast

Today is the first posting as part of my "Greyscale Wednesday" series. Presented to you are two very different works, I feel, both enhanced by their monochrome palette.

The first is linked from Life Magazine's: 100 Photographs That Changed The World



..."The Ohio National Guard, called in to quell the turmoil, suddenly turned and fired, killing four; two were simply walking to class. This photo captured a pivotal moment: American soldiers had just killed American kids."

The second image is linked from BURP and depicts jazz in Harlem, 1958, on the website harlem.org.
