The sun was in the right place to cast a shadow of this spiral staircase on the side of the building. I realize that my last Monochromia post was also of stairs…just trying to step up my photography game!

Nothing like a good monochrome architectural shot once in a while. This is a current one, from my visit to Boston last week. Taken with my iPhone 14 Pro, which is awesome for high contrast black&white photography – this is a jpg straight out of the phone. I love Boston. It is full of history, great architecture and a prefect blend between old and new.

A quiet, monochrome moment captured during the “Meditate with a Monk” event at Constitution Gardens in Washington, D.C. Led by the Venerable Bhante Pannakara – who completed a transformative peace walk from Texas earlier this year – this recent session invited the public for a morning of mindfulness, reflection, and collective stillness. The Washington Monument stands as a solemn backdrop to this powerful gathering in the heart of the nation’s capital.
A circular polariser was essential here — it deepens the sky and gives the clouds their weight without needing any filtration in post. Shot wide on the 16–35mm to capture both the full bridge span and the sky above, the geometry of the cables provides the leading lines. In monochrome the tonal drama the CPL creates is at its most powerful: the dark sky, bright clouds, and mid-tone bridge structure stack cleanly without competing.
