Pavement Grey

Taken on shutter speed 1/3 F22. I edited to play up the contrast and created the sketch-book like quality by increasing the clarity.

Warehouse Grey

What is really interesting when you take on a photography project is you find out a lot about your style and what you are drawn to. I seem to gravitate towards these sorts of images and compositions- see below. It also makes me strive for a bit more originality because clearly this is quite a pattern in my photos which I'm sure has been influenced by other common photography tropes/ styles.

All taken in 2017 as part of the Photo a Day challenge

Homesick Grey

This cat used to live next door. She now lives a little way away- close enough to keep returning to her old stomping ground. Here she is pining for her previous home...

Haggard Grey

The purplish-grey of my under eye circles are something I try to cover up. But sadly, you cannot cover up the aging process completely (and why should we anyway?)

I was always fascinated by eyes as a young person and art student, always studying and drawing eyes. Even now, they are one of the first things I notice when meeting people.

New Year's Grey

The theme for January is: Shades of Grey. Every photo posted this month will primarily focus on documenting variants of grey. Incidentally, grey is one of my favourite shades. It is cool, modest, classy and subdued. Whilst some may associate it with age, stagnation, bleakness, I think it is rather beautiful.
