The Blue Umbrella

Near Silverton, CO

Monochrome May Manifesto


During May, as you all have figured out, I have committed to doing all monochrome images. … some with a touch of color just for the fun of it. My goal is to hone my eye to discern images that lend themselves to this treatment, and to practice making the conversion (CS3 b/w adjustment layer).

You may have noticed that many of the images are not “current.” Reaching into my grab bag of past photos is part of the process, and I am abandoning my self-imposed rule of doing a “new” picture every day. Too be sure these are being processed freshly on a daily basis.

I'm glad you've found a way to clear yourself of all those self imposed rules, Robin! They were way too restrictive! Good job here.
