Focus on Life: Minimalist: Words

Do words need WORDS? 

Pondering, pondering, Sally Russick from The Studio Sublime has given us the prompt this week to express some WORDS in our minimalist photography. After discarding my original idea due to the inadvisability of outdoor photography in our current cold snap, I drew some....words. 

My choice stems from the fact that I really do rely on words for almost everything I do. Even drawing incorporates words quite often. 

So, those are my words, the first picture frosted in Picmonkey, another one posterized, and the last minimally processed. Let's see what the others have done: 

Focus on Life: Minimalist Silhouette

The Bare Essentials

This week's photo assignment on our Minimalist theme is Silhouette.  Sally Russick gave us some suggestions on how to use our cameras to create silhouettes of objects against a bright background, like the sky. I read them, but ran out of daylight to fiddle with my camera. Too bad I can't take a photography sabbatical. 

Here is what I came up with:

Hummingbird Wind Chimes - and some icicles!

Not exactly a silhouette, but a nice contrast. Desaturated in Picmonkey. 

My Favorite! Didn't have to do much....
