Nice work, Josh. The architectural shots are my favourites, especially the first two.
I would find this to be a difficult challenge. It is often colour, more than contrast, that catches my attention. I have only changed a colour image into a black and white one a few times. I should give it a try, though. Sometimes, doing something radically different (shooting in B&W would be radical for me) can prevent us from imitating our own past work.
1) you can always go back to shooting color after the challenge
2) set a long enough time so that you can really adjust and then get into it
3) maybe get a group together so that everyone is doing it the same time and can share their results and support each other (I’d be up for six weeks again at some point)
I like the architecture photos best, because of the strong contrast, lines, patterns and simply because I like this type/genre of photography :)
With my 'big camera' I don't often photograph in b/w, but for my BeyondFocus project I use my everyday smartphone set to b/w. To make sure that this does not interfere with everyday use (as in: do I have to buy this?-photos), I use the Lightroom app for BeyondFocus and the generic camera app from the manufacturer for all the other stuff. Works well for me :)

All winners, but especially love Fort Point.
A really superb collection of images Josh!
Thanks so much. That means a lot to me.
