I love the beauty and elegance of the pictures in black and white. They are taken by the young Phoenix-based photographer Shawn Knol, who likes to explore the world through the lens of his canon 8mpxl rebel xt camera. On a shoestring budget, he shoots all kinds of [fluids mixing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow) and the photos are truly remarkable.
