Monotone Mondays ▪️▫️

I love the decision to make something black & white instead of leaving it in the color we see. With digital photogprahy it's more of a decision after the act of capturing the image; with film ( especially if you're shooting with black & white film ) the entire act of capturing is conscious--the photogpraher needs to be mindful of what makes a successful black & white composition. I like the idea of being mindful, especially since I haven't had the chance to be mindful in the ways I have been used to. If I can't have my yoga practice on my mat I want to have that similar experience in other aspects of my life. And what a better way then with my other passion in life?

I've been contemplating getting film from CVS OR Walgreens just to get myself back into the artistic groove. I think I might stop by later today ☺️

[some captured with my phone, some captured with my Nikon; with black & white it's about finding the elements and principles that all come together to make a photogprah, a composition, interesting]
