Cee’s Black & White: What Shape are You In?

This week Cee has asked us to come up with Geometric Shapes for her black & white photo challenge. Click the underlined words to see how others met the challenge.

050714  black and white (4)I have learned a few things from shapes about life.

For instance in life round is a pretty common shape!

While we would all like it to be a little more linear, the older we get the more we realize, this thing called life just doesn’t fit in a box.

Truth be told, the more we insist on controlling the shape of every detail in our lives, the more complicated our lives become.

Sometimes those things in our lives which appear to be the weakest offer us the most support through the troubled waters.

And, if you wait long enough and keep taking the bends in the road, eventually life does come full circle.

Here are my black& white captures.

I just used this Sepia reflection picture for Cee's oddball challenge but it fits here to. Can you tell where I am taking the picture from?

Plastic World

050714  black and white (4)

This week Cee has challenged us to display blacks and whites of bits of plastics. Not to hard since much of our world is made of plastic these days. I thought of taking a photo of a container of Cool Whip. I just love my edible plastics. Instead I went for plastic things displayed at our town’s Fall Fest.

You can see how others met the challenge at

Here is what I came up with:

Just about everything in this picture is plastic except the trees, the grass, and the woman.

This plastic choo! choo! is treated with an Infrared filter but I thought it was cooler than the B&W filter.
