6 year flight

Got the  badge yesterday as a reminder that it has been six years since I started with WordPress – that means six smokeless years as blogging became a handy substitute for cigarettes – that and my Ricoh camera which sadly hit the dust literally and metaphorically back in 2016 ( see my last ramble with Ricoh).  That camera gave me a love of monochrome with its additional treacly high contrast and stencil effect text modes.

To date, black and white is evidently still a favourite mood but it suits so many scenarios so here are six as yet unseen photos for this blog’s anniversary.

street shots work well in mono as it blends subjects into the one story

bridging the skies with drama

greyscale cloudscapes

glamorous pink gladioli muted in monochrome

portrait of a photographer in the making
