The Best Of Monochromia – Laurie Buchwald – The Morning After

Black And White Photography, Laurie, Photography

I purposely saved Laurie for the last of our Main Contributors.  I have been following Laurie’s photoblog for the longest out of anyone (and she has been following mine for the same time).  Laurie is one of the busiest people I know and even though I have known her for the longest time we have never met. I’m going to try and change that sometime this year 🙂 

When I first asked Laurie to join Monochromia or I should say this idea I had (we still didn’t decide on a name yet) she also was kind of hesitant because like Stacy she was a little unsure of her work (she had not done much black and white at all).  I quickly learned that Laurie was just “sandbagging” all of us (for those people not familiar with the term sandbagging it means purposely holding back, LOL).  Her images can stand up with the best of them.  I love her work and I can also proudly call Laurie my friend – Joe

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts Joe and I happily know where it comes from. It’s not surprising to me, how you can admire and feel strong connections to someone you’ve not yet had the pleasure of meeting. Oh, this girl of ours casts a wide net, ha! If only we could bottle the essence of LB, Ka-Pow! I feel really blessed and as always enjoy seeing thru her lens. xk

      You sure know how to make a gal feel good, especially on a Monday morning, in the dark, getting ready for work 🙂
      Thanks for loving me, Boomdee!
      Wonder where that package is these days?

        You’re easy to love my dear ❤ I'm speculating that the 'package' might be out east somewhere. I could drop a note at our old condo to alert them. Maybe they'd consider a phone call to me? I drop it on my way by, who knows? xo

      Thank you! I have another image from that same moment, and it includes surrounding trees, which offers a completely different take on it

    I adore this photo, the utter style and simplicity takes the cake! And how great to get to know Laurie through what you put together Joe – looking forward to the day when we finally meet, here in the city or down there on your open road territory Laurie. So in awe of how much you do and the great shots you get either on your travels or at home.

    Happy New Year!

      Welcome to 2016, Patti! So glad you like this image. After a huge snowstorm the day before, we awoke to a beautiful, quiet world.
      As I said to Joe, let’s get to planning a Monochromia gathering!

    As you can tell I really love this image Laurie 😀 With the way the snow is flowing over the hill and the direction of the footprints it leads your eyes exactly where the chairs are. The composition is classic “rule of thirds” and it’s a spectacular capture. Beautiful work and have a very Happy New Year my friend 😀

        The beauty of photographers is they’re naturally mindful. They see the beauty of a single moment and know they wish to absorb it fully into their hearts and minds. You have captured beauty that now I get to dine on. Many, many blessings, my dear friend.
