This video is definitely a current favorite...
Close your eyes and focus on Adele's voice in this song, and you become lost in the talent that lies there as well as the passion pouring out in her words.
And the lyrics are so emotionally raw. It's heart-wrenching because of the love one person still feels for this other person who has already moved on. What person who has experienced breaking up with somebody they deeply care about has not worried about being in this same situation?
The black and white video amazes me more and more every time I watch it. I think using black and white in cinematography or photography has a magical touch to it where it drowns out the distractions and really draws attention to the person's face. It amplifies the emotions there, be they hidden or etched into the person's face.
And that's why I love taking black and white photographs. Or taking color photographs and turning them into black and white. There's also a magic in warmified black and white, but that still doesn't measure up to the power of the classic b&w combo.
