We were biking all around the small isle of Noirmoutier on the west coast of France.
It was such a lovely day.
We were surrounded by nature.
The sun followed us.
And our laughter echoed in the landscape.
I hope everyone is fine and had great holidays and summer :’)

I’m Rico Rodriguez and I’m a keen photographer. It’s a passion I developed 12 years ago when we were expecting my son and felt it was time to get a decent camera. I caught the bug and have never looked back since.
I use Canon and Sony cameras. My photos range from street to portraits, and abstract to still life. I shoot in colour and black and white, it just depends on what works best for the shot. I’m never without a camera as I’ve learned over the years that that some of the best photographic opportunities happen when you least expect them.
As for me, I’m from Glasgow in Scotland and still live there with my family. We now have two kids. My father is Spanish, hence my name. He came to Scotland in the 1960s when he married my Scottish mother and has lived here ever since.
I’m delighted to be invited to contribute to Monochromia and look forward to future posts.

Taking advantage of the last 15 minutes I had before needing to head inside Penn Station, I waited … and waited … for the perfect pedestrian to help frame this shot of the Empire State Building. And then this young woman stepped out of a taxi. It was a great way to end a great visit to NYC!

Black and white with bright lights of mayhem on a Saturday night in NYC when girls on a night out get caught in the fun of the NYPD holding back the protesting crowd at nearby Times Square.
What’s not to love about girls prepared for action – leather, denim, leopard spots, hair, attitude and cameras!
