My Mono World
Posted by P J W Miller (Chase Terrace, United Kingdom) on 28 May 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.
There may well be those of you that think this a strange image and may not particularly like it or others may think it is OK. I just wanted to try something a little different, break the mould, so to speak.
I thought I could understand what is going on. The colour post is in the mono world, I am taking a photo of the mirror reflecting the mono world which the coloured post is in. Behind me is the reflection of the opposite post in the mono world where the mirror on that post is reflecting the colour world of the first post I mentioned. Oh my head hurts. What a load of boll****. unless you know different, don't do your head in trying to figure it out, you have already wasted enough time trying to decipher my instruction. I need a drink.
Me and my camera(s) will travel both locally and as far as is physically allowable within the constraints of this our local celestial body and provide images from a purely subjective point of view for your evaluation and commentation .

A brief message to all the brothers and sisters of AM3 and other photographic blog sites. It is a great feeling to get so many warm and constructive comments from all of you all over the world , it is good to be able to communicate in a friendly manner with no hint of racism, sexism or other ism's. It is good to be able to see what lies in your part of the world and to be able to give constructive comments on your work.

I like how you have color in mono in color - a great play on shapes. Well done.

Very interesting experiment, You did. I have to say that that You succeeded great. This is not a photo just to having a look only few seconds, but it requires more effort to study it. Very cool shot.

I quite like it. Even without the explanation it grabbed my attention. I was drawn to the warm colors and texture of the old stone framing the reflective smooth surface of the mirror. Then there was the nice surprise of the little scene within a scene as I looked closer. Very nicely done.

LOL I love the description. I get it and I think it's great, I've done something similar myself but not with the second mirror. That really adds to the whole mirror infinity thing that always gets me thinking. This has to be one of my favourites from you Peter, really well done! 5*

A complex bit of imagery, as though you are looking beyond this colorful world into BW, but see the real world once again in your grey world.
