A Moment in Photographic History:

United Statesian photojournalist/portraitist Mary Ellen Mark was born March 20, 1940 in Philadelphia.

A Photographic Quote of Note:

The difficulty with color is to go beyond the fact that it’s color – to have it be not just a colorful picture but really be a picture about something. It’s difficult. So often color gets caught up in color, and it becomes merly decorative. Some photographers use [ it ] brilliantly to make visual statements combining color and content; otherwise it is empty. – - – - – Mary Ellen Mark

  1. I agree with Mary. I find it harder to take meaningful color images and prefer B&W. I like your doorstop picture in that it is in color, but B&W could have been chosen and not worked. Good job!

     
  2. I love this stone, “raw” composition. The background is also beautiful.

     
  3. i used to shoot film in black and white, but with digital i don’t know what i would do without color! this is a lovely shot, a very nice rock, reminds me of a dinosaur egg :)
