you can print some of the pictures off, just go to google.com and do an image search or b&w paris pics. i think it sounds cute! good luck
Printing in black is the way to go
i'd grab some cool newspaper articles with neato headings and throw them into frames with black rims.
Well I think it sounds cute. You can often get cards in black & White with nice pics on them. If you want them all different sizes or even if they are the same size it will make a huge difference to the overall look of the room if you don't put them up correctly. When putting up pictures it is best to tell a story with them, don't just put them up. Put them in clusters or groups. Say three the same size in a line vertically or horizonal or a cluster of different size ones. Or 4 images 2 vertical and 2 horizontal in a cluster so the overal outside makes a box.
magazines: check used book stores, antique shops for old Life or Look magazines. Both retained the worlds best photographers and often worked in B&W. find the photos you like, frame it.
Many great photographers worked in black and white: Dorthea Lange, Imogene Cunningham, Alfred Stieglitz (sp?) and of course Ansel Adams to name just a few. Any one of these should be easy to find a collection of their work.
Consider work of an emerging local artist. Search for Open Studios near you, or an art college. You may find young or emerging talent who work in black and white for a collection that's unique.
