rain chain + sunset
Maybe you know that I’ve spent the better part of the last two years working on a documentary project; it covers the entire length of Route 66 and I made just shy of 7,000 black and white images.
Later this week, my collaborator – the Oklahoma photographer VC Torneden – and I will have an exhibit of a few of these images. It’s called The Other Side and will be at the Charles Adams Gallery in Lubbock through the end of the month. Stop by, if you get a chance.
And all of that was to say that I sort of got burned out on black and white images. I love black and white and have built my photographic career (such as it is) on being a strong monochrome shooter.
So, I’m pivoting to color, and that’s all you’ll see from me for the entirety of the month.
You’ve been warned.

Very impressive Melinda. Both your work and this photograph. I too prefer black and white, and color (to me) provides a rest to thing through my mono images. Congrats!

Thank you, Frank. It’s been fun learning to see in color: I was out of the habit.

I am thinking the same thing. I do a lot of B&W or de-saturated photos, maybe August should be a month of colour…

I may wish I’d done this in February – 31 days of color is a LOT!!
