Monochromia: Subway Surfing

by

20161015_093540-5

It’s hard to believe that it has been 5 weeks since that incredible weekend in NYC.  The past month has been a blur!

When Joe, Stacy, Terry, and I were taking the subway to meet up with Patti and Robyn, I had fun trying to stay upright without holding onto anything as the train sped underneath the streets of the city.  I also posted myself right in the window to grab this shot.

Such fabulous memories of a great time.

(and, just FYI, I did manage to stay upright … although I’m not sayin’ it was pretty 🙂 )

Monochromia Connections

by

As you view this Black & White  image, I am on the train to NYC to meet up with some of the photographers who contribute to Monochromia!

We all know the gifts of WP blogging, and I’ve been tremendously blessed to have made friends the world over.

In just a few short hours, I’ll be gathering with photographers that I met years ago through WordPress.  Since then those photographers have become friends and I cannot wait to them all in person.

Stay tuned for photos!

Monochromia Sea Star

My contribution to Monochromia this week

I’d never seen a live Starfish before.  What a neat find during a morning walk on Siesta Beach.

A little Starfish research offered the following info:

Starfish come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes, but they all resemble a star.  They have spines covering their upper surface and a soft underside.  Starfish are not actually fish. They do not have gills, scales, or fins.  They have tiny tube feet to help them move along.

My post for Monochromia this week.

It was a bright, sunshiney day, but tell me, do you think it was cold or warm?  This image could go either way, right?

Even after all this time, I find myself thinking about how lucky I am to be hanging out, virtually anyway, with the rest of the Monochromia photographers.  I mean, seriously, I still need to learn how to adjust shutter speed.

I’m just going to sit here in the soft morning light, enjoy my cup of coffee, and ponder my good fortune.

Inspired by Pauline

by

My contribution to Monochromia today was inspired by Pauline.

_MG_2169-2

The story, as I noted on my Monochromia post was this:

As we left our Old Town Alexandria restaurant that night, Pauline pointed across the street and said “Look Laurie! That would make a great picture; like film noir” (that’s not an exact quote, by the way).

And she was right! All that was missing was a guy or gal, leaning against the wall, smoking a cigarette.

Well, a tripod was missing, too (obviously), but thanks Pauline, for being the inspiration behind this shot.

The Divide

by

Many of you are already familiar with Joe’s beautiful photography, and some of you know of his incredible spirit of generosity.

His passion for photography moved him to create Monochromia and allowed the crew of photographers and photo nuts to embark on a wonderful adventure.  He is generous with his time as he teaches less experienced photographers new techniques (please see his blog for his “You Asked For It” series).  He shares each and every Monochromia post on our FB page.  He reblogs every Monochromia post on his own blog The Visual Chronicle.  He has helped me to learn the basics of lightroom (and helped me with so many other things), and he and his wife have become my friends.

PLUS I just love this image!
Here’s to you, Joe, with a big ol Southwest Virginia THANK YOU!!
