“There’s something that’s really fun about the challenge of making the mundane funny, too, I think” Jim Gaffigan
Glass
A reflecting vortex
Into a bottomless pit
Image out of context
The obvious
Becoming complex
Poetry of Everything

“My philosophy, like color television, is all there in black and white.” – Monty Python
Day 7
Going, going, almost gone
Now from summer, it’s so long
But something else, will come along
When fall and then winter
Will sing their songs

“Which is probably the reason why I work exclusively in black and white… to highlight that contrast.” – Leonard Nimoy
Day 6
A tall tower and its smaller twin
Living, side by side,
On an island, made from winds
With the blue ocean wide
And the land around them thin
No hiding, from the high tide
But together they survive
For they are kind
And nothing them, can divide

“When you photograph people in color you photograph their clothes.
When you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their soul!”
Ted Grant
Day 5
High up
On the mountain top
The basic instincts
Are kicking in:
Clouds filled, with life giving water
Arrived into the valley, with a fog like holler
Do not worry about survival anymore
Looks like the weather gods,
Rewarded us with a big score

“Color is everything, black and white is more.” – Dominic Rouse
Day 4
Hovering above the world
Wings spread like a big bird
Voice screeching to be heard
Like a flying seagull high in the sky
Soaring, into the grey horizon
There is no one defined reason
Only the thrill of being
In the here and now

“Black and white is abstract; color is not. Looking at a black and white photograph, you are already looking at a strange world” Joel Sternfeld
Day 3
Frost bitten branches and leaves
Above a small dwelling still heave
The wind cold and freezing
Breathing in the throat keeps on wheezing
“This weather, certainly takes your breath away”
Just be careful not too long to stay
Warm mittens and a thick coat
And certainly a woolen scarf for that throat

“Black and white creates a strange dreamscape that color never can” Jack Antonoff
Day 2
Winter continues with all its muster
Snow pouring down, faster and faster
The forest with its trees covered in light
Powdery crystals in the colour of white
A passageway in front quite clear
Do not hesitate or fear
Take a step into the wonder and delight
And soon you have something about to write

“The only photograph I regret, is the one I did not take”
Verbania, Italy
The sun is setting
And the daily tasks are letting
Time to relax and enjoy the setting
Of a gorgeous sun
In the company of chosen ones
Inhaling
Exhaling
Into,
The mood getting
Simply letting
The evening air
Wash away
Any and all,
Despair
