Purpose

Ongoing CHALLENGE !!!

If your picture has been blogged here, it means that it has appealed to over 300 art jurors (currently 50 active) for a whole week or more. That is an achievement!!!

... and what does that mean ??? well according to This ... it means your picture is "... extremely resistant to people wanting to get rid of it", :)

If you see one single picture in this group that you think is not art, please say so (by commenting on it) and tell us why. If you are convincing - we will remove it. This group is to show case the most resistive pictures from the
B&W Art Photography - Is Your Art universal

The Lovers


The Lovers, originally uploaded by ~ Meredith ~.

2nd roll through the bronnie, this time in Bruges. This avenue of trees was right opposite our hotel. For several days there were market stalls set up here. On this particular afternoon however it was fairly deserted. I was figuring out how I wanted to compose the scene when this couple walked into the shot, sat down on the bench & started kissing. Gives the whole thing a more romantic feel I think :-)

This is an old photo of mine (2004) jazzed up with
AlexEdg's Grunge Texture. I'm losing respect for all the guys/gals here in Flickr who postprocess their photos !!! It is way too easy to come up with nice stuff this way. ;-P

Joy in the Morning Silver Gelatin Infrared HIE print

nfrared film developed and printed in a traditonal wet darkroom on silver gleatin fiber based paper by Mary Bailey Thomas.
The reason the right hand side says, "Digital" is that my images are 11" x 14" or larger most of the time and will not fit into the scanner. I use my Nikon D-50 to shoot the black and white, BW Toned or BW handcolored prints to enter them on Flickr

This is an hot spring (with boiling clay, not water). It is very dark clay (black), that makes a hole in the ground. With drying black clay around it. The name of this hot spring is Fúlipollur (The foul puddle).
It is near Seltún (between Krísuvík and Kleifarvatn's) in Iceland
