Taken Saturday 4/9 out in Modesto at my "old" high school buddy Ron's 50th birthday party. Unfortunately, Ron's pictures didn't turn out as good as I'd hoped!

I've been playing with b&w a little lately, using the channel mixer, layer effects and a little film noise in Photoshop to make these look like the real thing. Can you tell? I've been fooled by other folks b&w shots, so I thought I'd give it a try.
