Enjoying the Gardens


One of my greatest pleasures is to photograph in black and white, and for some reason the results are very often (in my opinion) humorous. Edward Steichen, the great American photographer, once said "The mission of photography is to explain man to man, and each to himself". I am not sure what this explains, but I found humour in the fact that these four visitors, whilst totally surrounded by the colour and beauty of Monets Garden, seem totally indifferent to all that is around them. You can view the rest of my black and white images, including the French policeman with a Band-Aid on his tyre, here.
