part of my collection of instruments I don't know how to play... ;)

EDIT: Going to use this for "Monochrome Monday". It's from the old camera, but I do like sepia, and it shows a lot of the collection.

7 Days of Shooting: Architectural Details: Mono Monday

I rolled up some paper and shot the flash through a tube. This was the result. I like it, especially the terrifying tiny pupils I have.

7 Days of Shooting Week #42 - Nature in Spring/Fall / Mono Monday

My senior year of high school I really, really wanted this watch and was shocked when Dad got it for me for Christmas.

You see, growing up Mom did all the gift shopping. This was one of the only gifts he went out and purchased himself.

I haven't worn it in years & it needs a new battery, but I will always treasure the one gift my Dad purchased on his own.

Shot for 7 Days of Shooting Week #47 - Yellow / Mono Monday.

Sorry I missed Sunday. We were gone all day. I like macros, so did one for Monday. :)

It was cloudy most of the day with the sun peeking through here & there.

Of course as soon as I took this & uploaded, the clouds cleared & it's been sunny!!

Taken for "7 days of Shooting" Week#5 "Gold and Silver" "Mono Monday"

I took this the other week and with the settings on the camera it had a yellow cast. I have just upped the saturation and now I think it looks suitably mono enough to be considered for the seven days of shooting mono monday.
