“When she transformed into a butterfly, the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty, but of her weirdness. They wanted her to change back into what she always had been. But she had wings.” ― Dean Jackson

You think you photograph a particular scene for the pleasure it gives. In fact it’s the scene that wants to be photographed. You’re merely an extra in the production. — Jean Baudrillard
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 theme for this week’s MM 2-22 is “bridges”. 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. ✽

Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire. — Jorge Luis Borges
“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”
— Rumi
“There are little gems all around us that can hold glimmers of inspiration.” — Richelle Mead
“Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragon-fly
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky,
So this wing’d hour is dropped to us from above.
Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,
This close-companioned inarticulate hour
When twofold silence was the song of love.”
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
“All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.” Sunset Boulevard
“Flowers…are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty
out-values all the utilities of the world.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
For me, photography has become a way of attempting to make sense of the strange world that I see around me. I don’t ever expect to achieve that understanding, but the fact that I am trying comforts me. – Mikhael Subotzky
