I'm not one to convert digital photos to black and white, I much prefer to shoot it that way on film... but I thought the golden light and haze during tonight's Jubilance 2025 procession of Catholics in the city lended itself well to monochrome. Watch for the full gallery to be posted (in colour) later on SooToday.

Don’t stay in—go out, share laughter, and embrace new experiences. You might be surprised at how much brighter …
