The light was gorgeous today and yet I had trouble coming up with an image for the blog. I thought about skipping a day, but knew I would hate myself in the morning. So as the light began to fade and my "photo block" persisted I decided that contrast, particularly color contrast was another fundamental in my photographs. I liked the sharp contrast between the magenta of the flowers and the green background. Light and color key elements in image making. I recalled my early days as a photographer and shooting in black and white only. I miss the simplicity, the clarity of vision and the challenge of bringing a situation to life in black and white. Sometimes I really do believe it is harder to take a good photo in black and white.
