Simply through a Lens

This week’s something different was a result of a challenge from a friend – take a black-and-white photo every day for a five days.  Simple, and yet another way of looking at the ordinary things.  I am not trained in photography, so this challenge helped me experiment (though I often was in a rush, and didn’t have time to really get things right) with my point-and-click camera.  Here are some of the pictures I took over the past week, actually, that to me are beautiful or interesting.

Storage during a rain for a homeless person’s belongings

fuzzy, but a friend’s son with horse mask. If it had been a sharp picture, I may have been even more disturbed by this photo.

Sometime, I’d really like the time to do this series right…

This challenge had been inspired by a series of photos that I took of my neighborhood during one bus trip to work.   I really love these.
