I am on a roll with the Monomad project this week (and those of you who remember the days of real film will find the humor in that statement).
I posted a close-up of a spring blossom on Monday, a street shot on Tuesday, and a ridiculous "abstract" picture yesterday, which anyone could see was just a terrible, grainy close-up of paperclips. What can I say, I'm a work in progress.
Why I'm mad about Monomad
I've always loved the intensity of black and white photography. It instantly makes me think of my childhood for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was watching the Walt Disney show on Sunday nights -- all 7 of us crowded around our tiny Barbie-sized black and white television with a clothes hanger sticking out of the top to try to improve reception. But enough about my charmingly pathetic upbringing.
Here's my monomad photo for today's "animals" theme. This is my cat, "Angel" (a misnomer if there ever was one), helping me with my gardening. It was minutes later that I saw her scurry under the deck carrying a dead rodent, so she looks sweet but is actually a cold-blooded killer.
Thank you for indulging me in my obsession of the week. Having no actual talent for photography, I can't promise I'll continue, but I am certainly having fun amusing myself with it for the moment!
