“Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.”
― Paulo Coelho, “Brida”
Wishing you nothing but good offerings in the year to come.

Can you guess what type of flower I have presented? If you are struggling with the answer, or if you would just like to see this flower in color, you can visit my personal blog a the link highlighted below. In December of 2012 I wrote a blog post about this flower. From the former post you will learn about the meaning of the flower and the purposes of it throughout history. Robyn Graham Photography

My father did not teach me everything I know about photography. But he did let me borrow his camera from time to time when I was growing up. Last week, he flew to New York to scatter his parent’s ashes at the beach on Coney Island where my grandfather and grandmother first met. He asked to borrow one of my cameras and I offered the Canon, but he preferred the lighter, newer Fuji. What could I do? He’s my father!
While he was waiting for his flight, he practiced with the controls on the camera and caught this image of some unknown traveler. I loved the image and asked to process it. He agreed and I am now in the midst of processing all his selected favorite images from that trip. With his permission, I will post a few from time to time.
I was going to travel with him but work and home responsibilities prevented me from finally getting to meet Joe Giordano and his wife, Terry, Stacy Fischer, and Patti Kuche.
Maybe one day soon…

As the sun slowly fades into the west I bid farewell to yet another year with fondness and gratitude for your company and support here on Monochromia.
Grateful thanks as ever to Joe for not only starting up the enterprise but more importantly for keeping it going with more than a modicum of ease and class.
Season’s greetings to one and all!
(Did this year just fly by or what?)
