Even after all this time, I find myself thinking about how lucky I am to be hanging out, virtually anyway, with the rest of the Monochromia photographers. I mean, seriously, I still need to learn how to adjust shutter speed.
I’m just going to sit here in the soft morning light, enjoy my cup of coffee, and ponder my good fortune.
The fog was coming in thick, and quickly shrouded the New River and surrounding landscape. It was thrilling to be in the midst of it.
This was early in the storm, which in Virginia, came in two parts. And yes … the bird feeder has been filled since this picture was taken. Several times in fact.
While I’ve never seen The Rolling Stones, I did get to see a Stones Tribute Band a couple weeks ago. Photography was challenging for me because of the dark, the emissions from the fog machine, and because I was dancin’ like Jumpin’ Jack Flash.
To see more images from a really fun night in a historic theater, check out Life on the Bike and Other Fab Things.
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
The Morning After
Cheers to all of you, my Monochromia Family! See you in the New Year!
It was a 7am power walk and I’d decided not to bring my camera because I really needed to burn some calories. I took this quick shot, added a little vignette, and posted it to social media.
Thanks, Joe, for encouraging me to bring it to Monochromia. Thanks, also, for being our amazing monochromatic, charismatic, dynomatic leader!! Emilio, is dynomatic even a word? 🙂
May you all enjoy the blessings of the season!
