It is part of the photographer’s job to see more intensely than most people do.
He must have and keep in him something of the receptiveness of the child who looks
at the world for the first time or of the traveler who enters a strange country. — Bill Brandt
Monochrome Madness will be posted later today for your viewing pleasure on Leanne Cole’s blog.
If you would like to participate and submit a photo in the upcoming weeks, please email your monochrome image to leanne@leannecole.com.au and include a link to your blog or website if you have one. It doesn’t have to be WordPress blogger, it can be a Facebook page, a Flickr page, etc. Include your name or your blog name. The image size should be low resolution, so the largest size should be 1000 pixels or less. The deadline for submission is before 6 p.m. on or before Tuesday, Melbourne Australia time. The earlier the better for Leanne. If you should miss the deadline your photograph will be posted the following week. The complete instructions are posted on Leanne’s blog should you have any questions or need help. The first MM of every month will have a theme. The next theme will be *K* on July 7th. There will be two galleries during the theme week, one for the theme and one like there normally is for those that may choose not to do a theme. ✽

Love the quote. I got into photography when a meditation friend noted that you can’t be in any other moment then “now” when taking a photograph. I was having a hard time and he thought it would be a good mindfulness practice. Changed my life. Yes, the wonder of a child.

Thank you for liking “First Day of Summer” and “June.” Wow, the details of this photo are amazing! Well done! 🙂 I like the quote too. I have also noticed that careful observation and receptiveness are important when you are taking pictures. And good timing is helpful too. 🙂

I was watching a bee on a flower herein Scotland just today wishing I had a camera. My little girl thinks they just love smelling flowers all the time. I love that idea!
