Batman and Stacy face off in New York.

Didier is a talented writer, filmmaker and photographer based in Paris, France. When he first contacted me about joining Monochromia I was immediately struck by the depth of the images he submitted. I am glad to have him on board as part of our family and I hope to meet him this coming June when he visits New York City to work on a project. Jusqu’à ce que nous rencontrons à New York – Joe

Rico is a photographer based out of Scotland. When our very own Susan Licht had suggested contacting Rico to possibly join us as a Guest Contributor I immediately took a look at his black and white work on our sister Facebook group “Life in Black and White”. I was delighted with the creativity his images displayed. I then started the hunt for him to join us and boy am I glad he agreed. His work is very creative and refreshing I love it. I hope to get the chance to meet him one day – Joe

When Ingrid first contacted me to join Monochromia as a Guest Contributor I was totally blown away with the initial image she sent me. It had such “soul” (for lack of a better word) and emotion that I promptly responded to her request with a resounding “YES”. Ingrid is a French photographer who is living in Munich, Germany and I absolutely adore every image she has shared with us. Here is another look at the first image she submitted – Joe

Anne-Cecile has been one of our guest contributors for a little over a year now a year now. She was just sixteen years old when she joined us and was still in school. Her images show a maturity and creativeness far beyond her young years. I chose this image to reinforce my point (in addition to Pink Floyd being one of my favorite bands) – Joe

While we are on the subject of talented Minnesota based photographers I thought I would post one of Cyndie’s images (Dan Traun’s better half :)). I have been a follower of Cyndie’s photoblog for a couple of years now and I have always been blown away with most of her abandoned farm and urban images. This particular image is a little different style but its also an image I wished I had taken – Joe

David is another talented Minnesota based photographer who has posted many great images on Monochromia. I chose this particular image because I feel its a combination fine art/abstract plus its one that I just can’t stop staring at 🙂 I only wish I had taken this one – Joe

When Wade first contacted me about possibly becoming a Guest Contributor he sent me a link to his website. I clicked the link to his site and was immediately blown away by his work. I quickly contacted him and loaded his information into Monochromia before he could change his mind 🙂 He has been with us ever since and has provided us with a variety of awesome images – Joe

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
