RXA

Theme Week #1 – Black & White

Originally uploaded by RXAphotos

The “black and white” theme week is over. Hard work but I got a lot out of it.

Next weeks theme (starting tomorrow) will be “RXA by request”. You have to flickrmail (or email if you have it) me and tell me what you want me to do. The best suggestion wins undying gratitude and credit on the page.

This goes for my blog readers as well.

Put your thinking caps on and let me know what you want me to do.

Take a read of this article written about a non-profit photography organisation that takes photos of stillborn babies for their grieving parents … it knocked me for six.

My black and white theme has been a challenge. I find it hard looking for shots that i think will work in black and white so you can imagine why I find it staggering to discover that three out of six of my black and white photos have made it to Explore. Flickr’s so called best photos of the day.

There is something seriously wrong with their system.

I thought for a period of exactly 47 minutes that I had lost one of my compact flash cards for my camera. Big deal I hear you say, you have seven of the darn things … why yes I do. But the one I was looking for had the images from the portrait shoot I did last night. The portrait shoot that I hadn’t uploaded my computer yet. The portrait shoot that if I screw this up I can kiss the possibility of living a long life with certain parts of my anatomy attached still.

You get the hint.

I found the card … it was in the “uploaded” pile although I had yet to.

Now I can start breathing again.

I’m still alive … just sorting out some thoughts.

Back soon.
