Monochrome pictures and the writer: a heads-up
I've been experimenting with taking black and white photos to see if that would make me a more creative writer in some way. It has! I found myself looking more closely at things, and being able to see more detail. Somehow, colour can get in the way, and make it hard to see the wood for the trees.
I suspect there is a good analogy waiting to be made here, along the lines of "purple prose makes it harder to get the writer's point" -- but I'll leave it to someone more erudite than I to make such an observation!
I'll upload some monochrome photos soon.
