Lens-Artists Challenge #70 – Monochrome

[Categories: Photography, Photography 101 Forever
[Photos this week are hosted right here on WordPress.  Somewhere…  serene.]

[Right-click on a photo might open it in a separate tab or window.]

The Lens Artists Challenge is hosted this week by Patti.

Per Her: “For this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #70, we’re inviting you to explore the world of monochrome–which includes black and white and sepia, as well as different shades of one color.”

“Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.”
—H.G. WELLS, 1920  (from Lapham’s Quarterly website)

I’m going for monochrome/black & white, as in ‘fifty shades of grey’.

DUCK!

Ducks were photo’d B&W in-camera.

Sandhill crane, I believe, photo’d along the Platte River in sub-urban Denver.  Pic is converted from color in computer:

“I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.”
—JEROME K. JEROME, 1889 (from Lapham’s Quarterly website)

Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.
—ALBERT CAMUS, 1951 (from Lapham’s Quarterly website)

Enjoy.

Kudos to the tireless leaders of the weekly Lens-Artists challenge.
