The Best Of Monochromia – Mario Gervais – St. Paul West

Black And White Photography, Mario, Meho, Photography

Many of you might remember Meho Jarvis better known by his real name Mario Gervais. Mario was instrumental in getting Monochromia up and running and is a true friend to me. Whatever name he wants to use it fine by me because I will always consider him an extremely talented photographer as well as great web page designer – Joe

Montréal – ISO100 – F2.8 – 1/60 – GIMP and G’MIC

Taken in Montréal, Québec, in April 2014.

I like the heavy urban presence here. Unmovable concrete, bricks and windows. Then we see in the middle of this stopped urban scenery two individuals following the one way.

Fuji X-Pro 1 and XF 18-55mm LM OIS R Lens – 1/1000 @ f/5.6 – ISO 200

I decided to take this ordinary “tire tracks on a beach” image and play around with a little creative post processing to make it look more surreal.  I hope you like it 🙂

Fuji X-Pro 1 and Fuji XF 35mm f/2 WR R Lens – 1/1250 @ f/2.8 – ISO 200

Today I decided to take my old Fuji X-Pro 1 out with the just released Fuji 35mm f/2 lens.  I think I’m in love all over again 🙂

For my friends across the pond the term “going postal” in the USA usually means someone who is losing their mind and destroying things.
