Urban Black and Whites

I've done very few black and white conversions of my digital pictures in the past. Recently a friend of mine, Jim, from the local brew pub showed me some black and white shots he's done with 4x5 field camera, and it inspired me to go out and shoot with black and white conversions in mind.

All of these were taken hand held with a Canon EF 70-200 F/4L IS lens.
