For the lack of color



I've always been drawn to the black and white photograph.  I'm not sure why either.  Who would have thought that the lack of that which we perceive every day could be so enamoring.  Save the color blind, that's what we're used too! Color! And lots of it!

Is it because what's lacking allows our imagination to fill in the gaps? Like the scariest movies monsters, that which is kept hidden from our eyes leaves our brains to do the rest of the work. Our minds eye can add any array of colors that it can come up with! An imaginary rainbow of different shades, brightnesses, and hues. We can make it our own as much as the one who captured it.  Would you like your sky purple? Your grass red? Or how about just like it always looks? Its up to you.  You call the shots. Imagine!

Chasm - Flyleaf

My new favorite from the album Memento Mori by Flyleaf:
Break up already wake up now
Walk away take it all back now
Don’t be quick to lick the scab off
You're spitting in his face with the rest of them

Break up already wake up now
Walk away take it all back now
Don’t be quick to lick the scab off
Your spitting in his face with the rest of them

Please give me something I’m so thirsty,
I’m so thirsty
Oh please, let me warn them,
Don’t you come here, don’t bring anyone here

The chasm isn’t fixed yet. Take this water
Drinking ever deeper..living water

Please give me something I’m so thirsty
I'm so thirsty
Oh, Please.. let me warn them.
Don’t you come here, don’t bring anyone here

please…

Please give me something I’m so thirsty
I'm so thirsty
Oh, Please.. let me warn them. Don’t you come here, don’t bring anyone here
Despair

Morning brew

Now here's a concept! The entire point of blogging is to let the world know everything you do at any moment isn't it? As if. Well, here's to jumping on the bandwagon! Just testing out how this app works, listening to Flyleaf's new album Memento Mori (which is amazing btw) and drinking my coffee. Oh, which I took a picture of. Naturally.

Morning Brew

P.s. Never went to sleep. Been up since 3:30am. This is weird...

Feet First

I never thought coming up with something to say would be so difficult. I mean, its just a blog right? All I have to do it type... but it's much harder than that. Especially at 4:30 in the morning. Even though I work nights as an male nurse, thinking at all at this hour is a chore. These hunger pangs (or is it pains?) don't help either.

Here is my first entry in the world of blogging. Everybody seems to have one these days, especially photographers. Just one more way of marketing themselves I guess. I'll use this mostly as a way to communicate how I see the world, give my musings, tell funny (and possibly sad) stories from the hospital and showcase anything interesting that happens to pass in front of my lens. So here it is; my first post, albeit a conservative one.
