Life in the Archipelago, Photography in black and white, Poetry

Photography and Poetry:  The Clinic / Photo Rehab

“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever” Jacques Yves Cousteau

Life in the Archipelago

Life at it’s hardest
When living most farthest
From the creature comforts
But still the efforts
Are worth the while
And with a smile
Continue living
In an environment most unforgiving

Life in the Monochrome

Photography and Poetry:  The Clinic / Photo Rehab

“Things are not quite so simple always as black and white” Doris Lessing

Life in the Monochrome

I am neither black or white
I am just a gray delight
Maybe not so much fun
Being only a colour of one
That of a monotone
But not a clone
You may call me,
Monochrome

Photo 101, Day Thirteen: Moment & Motion, Part 3

Photo 101, Day Thirteen: Moment & Motion, Part 3

Our lives are made up of big events and tiny moments. Ultimately, life is fleeting, and oftentimes it’s these small moments, this motion, that we love to document.

Today’s Tip: Movement is a great way to convey time and fleetingness.

When it rains, it pours!

The rainstorm hit mid day. Luckily for some, it was nice and warm in the office…

Photo 101: Day Twelve: Architecture & Monochrome

Photo 101: Day Twelve: Architecture & Monochrome

From geometric patterns on skyscrapers to the ironwork on historical buildings, there are many opportunities to capture the beauty and complexity of architecture.

Today’s Tip: As we explored yesterday, color is a powerful element in photography. But let’s not forget black and white, or monochrome, which can be very dramatic! Black, white, gray, and shades in between interact in the frame in dynamic ways

When we talk about monochrome in photography, we’re referring to images developed or executed in black and white or in varying tones of only one color.

Train your eye to look for architectural elements that translate in black and white: sharp lines and patterns, defined shapes, large surface areas, and a mix of very light and very dark colors. Compare the color and monochrome versions of today’s shot.
