This composition represents two aspects of my experience as a photographer. First it shows my photographic “seeing” of what I feel is a cool composition with a lot of visual interest. Secondly, it’s quite typical of my experience whenever I have my camera and I’m walking with my family. Always in the rear snapping away, followed by a scurried attempt to catch backup. Sound familiar?
Season’s Greetings!

While I love the weathered textures, rust and other features of decay, photographing an abandoned old house can bring mixed feelings. There are melancholy thoughts of needless decline. Why was this home neglected and forgotten? But there is also an appreciation of the effort and sacrifice spent in building the home. Lives were lived here, perhaps a family’s, it was their home.
There is peace found in the acceptance of impermanence as part of the cycle of life. There is after all, beauty in decay.

Many agree fall foliage is also ideal for monochrome. The ability to adjust the luminosity across the color range can offer up interesting foliage tonality. When I first got out my car on this Ashe County, NC backroad, all the cows were in the shed. As a curious bunch, it took very little coaxing to get them to pose for this landscape composition.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. I’m most grateful for this WordPress and Monochromia blog community!
Cheers,
