I just discovered your blog today. What a wonderful collection you have here! I've recently returned to my monochrome roots and am trying to improve my composition as well. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, i've been bitten by the Photoshop bug so am still experimenting with that until i actually know what i'm doing. ;) Lizzy
Lizzy - thanks for visiting and for the kind words. Photoshop is definitely a useful tool (like you, I'm still trying to come to grips with it), but I find most of the images by other photographers I'm drawn to are ones with strong compositional bones. Cheers, Paul
I agree with you, Paul. I know digital art is all the rage right now. that doesn't attract me. I prefer working with what i've actually shot. At the end of the day, there is something so pure and stunning about a monochrome done well. Those images always catch my eye. :) Lizzy
The title of this blog is taken from Alexander McCall Smith's 44 Scotland Street series of books. Bertie is a wee precocious boy who's not allowed to be a child. His mother has grand plans for him, and has organized "The Bertie Project" to educate him well beyond his years. This blog is meant to be my own personal "Bertie Project" - a way to lead a more enriched life.
