From Ansel Adams to Richard Avedon or Daido Moriyama, photographers have captured some of the most poignant and memorable images in monochrome.

On Flickr, we routinely see fantastic work in black and white, so we’re very excited to showcase some of our favorite images from our members with a new series we’re calling Mono Monday.

What’s your favorite black and white photo? We’d love to see it. Be sure to tweet @flickr with your favorite monochrome images, and include the hashtag #MonoMonday. We’ll feature more each week.

You can also find more great photos for inspiration in the many Flickr groups that focus on black and white photos.
