Although the universe is ablaze with more colours than the human eye can detect, we can also learn to see the world in new ways by returning to the roots of the art of photography, to the art of black and white, and other monochromes like sepia (and bi-level). This photo blog celebrates that spectrum of colours ranging from the darkest monochromes to the most brilliant whites, and everything in between.

The jumble of lines is interesting, forming an egg-shaped mass, yet forcing the eye to keep moving. I'm not sure what to think about the shadow which is very powerful. It leads to the deceased plant, possibly even almost supporting it visually. It would be interesting to make the whole table black and see what happens. I like dead plants! Possibly a morbid interest in mortality?
Hey Evan, is it dead? Aren't those flowers in the jumble? Of course, I just got my progressive lenses... Mark - what draws me to this photo is the subtle changes from black, grey to white. And then there's the random nature of the leaves that make a pattern all on their own. This contrasted with that black shadow - thank you!
Thanks so much for the comments. It's helpful to see through other eyes. Indeed those are flowers, now with bowed heads, still graceful in passing. I tried the suggestion of making the table black but thought that made the pot insubstantial and kind of unseated, interesting though. The shadow is from the frames that separate two adjacent windows. I liked the way the clump of flowers got to "solo" there.
