Monochrome 

A photographer is the most fortunate of artists. With our wonderful tools we are able to quickly preserve a small and sometimes meaningful slice of life. The appeal of a monochrome photograph seems timeless - it's perhaps even more welcome in this age of extreme colour saturation. The absence of colours often make an image easier to interpret; to concentrate on the content and message. To understand its story.

However, I've included a few stories as well - what each photo means to me. Your comments are also welcomed.

The London Eye (1999, Observation Wheel, 40 minute circuit) and corner of County Hall (1911, former home of London County Council). So different but equally graceful partners on the bank of the Thames.

Dawn:
A whispered arrival
A gentle slip through feeble fissures
She strokes the scape
No heed or hindrance
A repeated wonder
welcomed

In my adorable litle Aussie-French cousin, I see affection and curiosity, charm and cheekiness. May these storylines stay with him forever. 

Nous aimons le plus petit garçon dans notre famille!
