When Joe started Monochromia, he said nothing about adding textures to photos. Though some may now argue this is not, technically, a photo, it is black and white. Monochrome. So I would like to know what others think of the technique itself. Actually, I would love to know. Please be as honest and truthful- and brutal- as you want to be. This is my own private poll and might stop me from ever using a technique like this again.

Or not!

Oh yeah, the shot was taken just last week, on a cold, crisp, and very clear night in front of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.

And if you haven’t given up on me yet, please visit Photos By Emilio every now and then to say hello. Visiting hours are 9 am to 5 pm every day of the week!

Walking through the snow . . . . NYC.

Into The Deep

When I took this photo, there was about 4 feet of fresh snow on the ground
Currently we are buried in over 5 feet of this white stuff
and it keeps coming and coming.
Lucky us here in Massachusetts
we seem to have hit the jackpot this winter.

33 days until Spring!

The title says it all.

Spooky in Charlotte

It was a lovely evening walk, checking out the Uptown sites in Charlotte, NC. Once converted to monochrome this image took on a decidedly more sinister appearance. Visit this post on Life on the Bike to see a similar image in color.

How’s that for a sweet Valentines Day post?
