I heart Black and White photography - only human on humpday

Take time out to be you!
Hey photography was the thing I wanted to major in at art school when I went. I ended up taking a different path when I got into my course, but I still love photography. Yesterday I took some time for me, I went around my backyard and fooled around with my digital camera on the manual settings changing iso and so froth, working in the monochrome setting, to see if i still had an eye for it. I think my photography eye is a little rusty but I really really enjoyed thinking about what was around me that would be good for a black and white shot. Taking photos is something that I do all the time, I think I'm going to shoot more in manual and less in auto from now on, providing I'm not too mummy brain fried.

black mail - tuesday treasure

Flynn and Eli made some black mail today. I had lots of envelopes and i gathered some balack art mediums, ink, black crayon, charcoal, and some sponge brushes and a little elephant stamp. I showed Flynn how the charcoal differed from the crayon by smudging it and layering it and he took to it like a duck to water. He loved the push pull quality of charcoal, he liked when i wrote his name that he could slowly dissapate it with his fingers. He stamped and dribbled the watered down ink. He enjoyed the activity and because it was monotone he really noticed the difference in the mediums, and enjoyed their unique effects and played with this for the same amount of time that he would if hed had lots of colours to choose from, he never asked for any other colours he was content to make letters for his grandma. They can play post offices this afternoon together. Eli liked being incuded but was mostly interested in stitting on the table and dribbling the ink over his legs.
