Geology Series — Monochrome March Challenge

A personal challenge series revolving around rocks.

In the month of March, I will shoot thirty-one days and thirty-one photos. It will start and end my Gems" series. The goal is to take a step back and return to the basics, and if all goes well something I'll return to every March. I never want to forget that a good photo is one made of good composition, intentional lighting, and emotion, regardless of the color.

Update 4/1/2020: The month of March has come and gone, but I don't think I'm ready to totally give up this series or these photos. I'm going to post some of these that I enjoy in color alongside the original black and white version. Enjoy!
