Door Stop
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

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!

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