Black & White Photography

Many of these photos were taken in my studio in the 70s and 80s, on b&w film. Others are colour digital images that I converted to b&w.

A great shirt! - "Get my Pointe?"

"Mine just arrived today. Ordered it in black and it looks great!"

Amazing look, feel, fit -"Golden Leaves"

"I have several pair of Wayne's store's leggings, and I love them. Just received these a week ago.
The fit is perfect, the colours are bold, and the other pairs I have haven't faded in the months I've had them.
And then, there's the fabric! It's soft, comfortable, and breathable.
I couldn't be happier!"

Cool! Glad you like them!

"Los Flores" is a lovely statement of a bathing suit

"So, this is kind of a multi-part review, as I own three of the bathing suits, and I decided to review them all! The design on the "Los Flores" bathing suit is taken from a Costa Rican flower. The black and white motif is elegant, and the flowers draw the eye!
But here's what you really need to know. I took the bathing suits with me to Costa Rica for SIX MONTHS. Each suit was in the (chlorinated) pool at least once a day. After 6 months, I can see no stretching, and absolutely no fading!
This bathing suit is simple and understated, and I love the fit and feel."

A real attention getter--"Dia de Los Muertos" bathing suit

"So, this is kind of a multi-part review, as I own three of the bathing suits, and I decided to review them all! The "Dia de Los Muertos" bathing suit really gets attention. I've had nothing but compliments! The colour and detail of the main "doll" is amazing. (I looked on Wayne's painting site... the painting is amazing too!)
But here's what you really need to know. I took the bathing suits with me to Costa Rica for SIX MONTHS. Each suit was in the (chlorinated) pool at least once a day. After 6 months, I can see no stretching, and absolutely no fading! This is a suit that gets attention. And questions. So be prepared to be wearing a conversation starter. Oh! Let me just say that the suit fits perfectly! I'm glad I went with the sizes on the info page. And the fabric is soft to the touch, even after repeated dunkings and washings."

So glad you like them! Keep an eye out for new designs.

Love the colour, fit, and fabric -- "Swims With the Fishes."

"So, this is kind of a multi-part review, as I own three of the bathing suits, and I decided to review them all!
My favourite is "Swims With the Fishes." I can't believe the colour and detail of the lion fish.
But here's what you really need to know. I took the bathing suits with me to Costa Rica for SIX MONTHS. Each suit was in the (chlorinated) pool at least once a day.
After 6 months, I can see no stretching, and absolutely no fading! And don't get me started on the feel and fit. The fabric was and is soft, yet fits like a glove.
If you like a suit that's dramatic and eye catching, and that features the natural beauty of the lion fish, this suit is for you."

So glad you like it! The fabric is amazingly durable. And the suits are fun to design.

"Lion fish" bathing suit

"Wow! It looks as good in real life as it does on the website. Fabric is absolutely gorgeous. Probably the nicest feeling bathing suit fabric I have ever owned! And the art work is stunning. This will certainly be a suit that gets me some looks!"
