It was with some sadness that I faced the closure of Daily Shoot this week. I had been participating in the group for almost two years and although in the latter days, the assignments began to repeat rather too frequently, causing me to grumble, I did enjoy the discipline of a prompt to be fulfilled each day. My energies turn now to a second 365-day project to follow 365 Caws and this Monochrome endeavour, but Daily Shoot will be missed. The above self-portrait was my official parting shot.
In the words of the Australian classic, "Click Go The Shears,"
"The shearin' is all over, lads,
We've all got our checks.
Roll up yer swag, boys!
We're off on the track
And the first pub that we come to,
It's there we'll have a spree
And everyone who comes along,
It's 'Come drink with me!'"
Ask anyone what "monochrome" means as it relates to photography, and you'll undoubtedly hear a response of "Black and white." This is incorrect. Monochrome images may be based in any color. The most commonly known alternate is sepia. Other old photographic processes which yield monochrome results include albumen and platinum. In this blog, I intend to present one or more monochrome images per week, to be posted on Saturday or Sunday for the period of one year. I hope my viewers will enjoy them.
