Lincoln Road in Black & White (Miami - South Beach)

According to The New York Times, "Miami Beach's founding father, Carl Fisher, envisioned Lincoln Road as a world-class shopping area. During the 30's and 40's, people donned their best whites to amble along its double sidewalks, an inner lane for spenders and an outer lane for pretenders." Today, it is hardly a world-class shopping area, but it does have many popular restaurants and a colorful mix of people and dogs. At night, however, it begs to be photographed in black and white, evoking a film from the 1930s, which is how I've treated it here. (By the way, all of these shots were hand-held and shot in B&W, rather than converted from color in Photoshop.)
