Beyond the Sandbox
 There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.   This kind of photography is realism.  But realism is not enough — there has to be vision,and the two together can make a good photograph. — Robert Frank                                                  

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 “bridges” for MM 2-22. 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.  ✽

This photo is from a summer concert a few years ago.  After Alabama Shakes played a storm blew in and they moved everyone back from the stage.  Fun evening even though there was about an hour delay in the rain until the other bands played.  I hadn’t intended on capturing someone’s hair.

I discovered that wedding photos cost a lot less at a thrift sale. Even less if you have a camera with you, which is how I captured this one. These unknown people will be at Leanne Cole and Laura Macky’s Monochrome Madness event later on today. Make a vow to discover what fantastic photos are on Leanne Cole’s blog thanks to Leanne, Laura, and a party of very talented photographers.
