I have discovered a new interest. I beginning to appreciate the beauty of a monochrome (black & white) image. When I started this photographic journey I only saw pictures as color. Sometimes the more colorful the better the picture (or so the way the thoughts in my head formed). I’m just starting to understand the power of a well created B&W image. I know I have more to learn about this style of photography but I am excited learn and experiment. Here are a few of my favorites so far…
I found inspiration! I put my 365 project on hold earlier this week. I felt I was not using it as it was intended to be used. I’m still reading through my Christmas present book and finding it has been getting my mind in a better photographic mode. Once I finish The book I know I’ll be able to restart my project with better focus.
In the interim I have found a Google+ photo theme that has my exploring with my camera with purpose and working at employing some of what I am learning in my book. There is a grass poker hash tag curated by Jules Hunter and Martin OBER which has been a lot of fun. I enjoy the pictures people have been posting to the theme and I find it fits a style of photography I like create. I think it helps that there is great interaction from the curators and other players.
Here are a few of my early hands in the game…
