Interest has been expressed to me about publishing what I guess would be called contemporary or abstract fine art black and white photography images. So instead of publishing some new beautiful fine art landscape photography and infrared images I have waiting in the wings, I thought I would do so.
This first image has actually been one of my favorites for some time now:

The Pile - a lone piling on the beach on the Outer Banks of North Carolina
