The Life in My Years

An anthology of life

This is my first foray into the Monochrome Madness Challenge. The topic is Minimalism.

I tend to be long-winded but in keeping with the topic, I’ll keep my comments to a

mimimum.

All three images above and the banner image were taken during COVID, when going out meant

the backyard.

    I like these very much. Your eye has selected the unusual and the interesting to showcase, eliminating the extraneous.

      Hi Margaret.
      Thank you for visiting and commenting. During COVID, my eye was bored and discovered our rotting fence (which has been replaced) and the garden.

    Hi Paul,

    Your mono turns the mundane into art. Hotel Leonardo is my fave here, like an optical illusion when I stare at it for too long.

    Welcome to Monochrome Madness ๐Ÿ˜€ And a great post in which to join us! Your first Covid-era shots are especially good – I love the use of the shallow depth of field and the way you’ve captured the textures.
