#MinimalMarch was fun! Alas, it is over. However, I think I’ll continue to do as much minimal photography as I can. Here are my picks for the best of the month.

It’s March! I’m excited because I had already decided that I was going to try to take more minimal-type photos for the month of March as my #366project. I’m a fan of minimal photography; I think it’s beautiful. But I don’t have very much experience in taking minimal pictures. In some ways – maybe? – a lot of my work leans toward minimalism just because I like to focus in close on details and avoid all the extraneous noise in the environment. 

To kick off the month, I went through my Lightroom catalog and pulled some photos that I have taken that I feel lean toward minimalism. Take a look! And join me on Instagram where I will post all my photos this month for the #366project.

#FunkyFebruary is virtually over. It’s been an interesting experiment. I learned a lot about my camera. And I learned a lot about myself. Working in a different style was a challenge but it reminded me that I sort of am who I am. I think I do my best work when I’m shooting what I love: precise compositions, repetitive lines and the places they meet, simple colors, and the intersections of nature-made and the man-made. I’ve posted above some of my most experimental photos in terms of exposure and focus. I shot in black and white a lot this month because we had some very dreary days (and I always feel black and white on overcast rainy days).

I’ve decided to do #minimalMarch. I’m very excited about this new challenge! Minimal is a style that I really want to learn more about and try to hone. Check out this Google image search. Isn’t it beautiful? Bring on Minimal March!
