Monthly Monochrome Mayhem: January

Since it's a new year, it's time for new challenges and experimentation. Let's "click" our monochrome photography skills up a notch in 2019.

There's something about monochrome photography that reveals the beauty of a thing in ways that we miss because of the color. Don't get me wrong. I love the brilliance of color photography, but there's something about monochrome photography that can be breathtaking.

For this swap, experiment with monochrome photography throughout the month. At the end of the month, select 2-3 of your monochrome shots and send them to your partner.

If you're converting to monochrome (rather than shooting in monochrome), it might be fun to send your partner before and after pics (not required).

Feel free to experiment further and alter the photos in any way you choose.

Be sure to write a note telling your partner about the photos or about your experience with the shots.

Subject matter and presentation are sender's choice.

*Please Note: Feel free to experiment with any form of monochrome photography (black and white, sepia, pink, blue, yellow, etc.). As long as the photo is some form of monochrome, it is fair game.
