I’m not sure if you’ve decided to join me or not, but I’ve challenged myself to shoot in only B&W for the month of October. Now, to be clear, I’m not challenging you to shoot in B&W, I’m challenging you to do something different with your photography. I knew that my own grasp of B&W was weak, so that’s what I chose. However, you may have a new Macro that you want to master, or maybe your landscapes have always sucked. Whatever you shoot isn’t the point. The point is, just shoot! Get out and choose a theme, topic, genre, or something special with your photography.
My friend Brian Auer is focusing on his minimalism. That’s great! What have you chosen?
My month has taken a little bit to get off the ground. So, don’t think I’m any less pumped and motivated to my commitment to the October Challenge. I’m on it!

Very nice sets. It looks like you’re getting the hang of B&W just swimmingly. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Bryan!
I’m going well so far. I also wanted to develop my Black and White skills though more so in film. I also wanted to use DOF for more artistic effects as well – primarily shallow DOF to emphasis the main subject.
I’ve tagged all my relevant photos on Zooomr and Flickr with “October Challenge” and “OctoberChallenge”.
I’m having a great time so far!
I need to get off my butt and go take more shots. I missed out this last weekend because of a birthday party in Moreno Valley, but this weekend definitely has some minimalism on the agenda. You and the Wolf seem to be kicking butt with posting new shots — there’s no way I could keep up with you guys.
