Photo Challenge: Minimalist

Posted by Mike on

The Daily Post Photo Challenge: Minimalist

It has been forever since I participated in one of The Daily Post photo challenges. My friend Dawn at Change is Hard commented that one of my posts would fit the recent Descent theme and then another for this theme. So this morning I decided to get off my lazy butt and see what I had that fit this week’s theme of Minimalist.

I have spoken to minimalism before in a few posts (here and here) and I was originally inspired by the work of Tom McLaughlin who I found on Google+. Tom created a blend of minimalism and abstract that he calls ministract. He has some very interesting images at his site ministract.com. But this challenge is only looking for minimalism. I am inspired to find more throughout the week and for that I want to thank Dawn but for now here is my first attempt…

Thirty in Eleven – TIE07

Considering that this thirty day project is something I created for myself I suppose I should not feel “bad” for not getting out with the camera today but I do. I hate to miss goals, even a self imposed one. As an attempt to satisfy that weird part of my brain that is telling me I failed I thought I would use today to introduce my new photography portfolio… MLCreations Photography.

This new site is meant to be a display of my images. Hopefully, sorted in a better order to allow everyone a chance to view my various themes in a more cohesive manner. The site is still a work in progress with only four portfolios created so far (and even those are not completely filled out yet). I would love to hear any thoughts about this new site.  If you do find your way over to the new site, please sign the guest book at the bottom of the page.
