Facebook has this little chain mail letter where you post one B&W photo a day for seven days about your life without any humans and no explanation.
I'm putting Eric Myrvaagnes up for the challenge.
I hope this wll work.
Cheers,
-
I'll give it a try, as long as each photo doesn't have to be taken on the day it's posted. I'm much too slow for that.
Here's one I converted from a Kodachrome slide. It's B&W because I couldn't get the colors right enough to satisfy my wife (who has normal color vision, unlike me.)
-
Welcome to the challenge. Nice image, six to go. You have to name a LuLa member to keep the up the project.
Cheers,

I got challenged (again!) by at least two people just as I was heading out of town...my solution was to post seven images at once, plus one for interest. I don't always have time each day. Another time I me the challenge with two per day for a week. Thinking I should prepare a folder full of images for the next challenge or two...

Canadian Rockies? Some of those lakes have a colour that's hard to believe or tweak to get right. And it all depends on the light at that time, of course. Anyway, this is a very successful B&W conversion IMO.

Correct. Lake O'Hara from Opabin Plateau in 1987.
So, now I challenge you, JNB to show your daily seven! :)

Didn't I already do that? I have a busy week ahead, and so this time I'll use Eric's interpretation that images taken in the past are valid. I'm going to start with a subject that's completely out of my usual wheelhouse.

Nice pussy cat!
Here's my 2nd day submission, "Little Cod."

Made me think of Watson's Mick Jagger.

The Jagger/leopard facial blend is iconic, but I really like the shot with the leopard in the back seat of the car.

My day 2 shot, and another one that isn't really typical of my photography. Gordie MacKeeman at the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival. Gordie (and his Rhythm Boys) always put on a good show.
-
I love it, JNB! And Lunenburg as well.
Reminder: as Tom B said, "You have to name a LuLa member to keep the up the project."
Here's my Day 3 offering: Garage doors in San Francisco, many years ago.

Day 3: Never knew garage doors could look so... ominous! Great shot.
Reminder: I guess I'd first have to find someone watching this thread before I could challenge them (aside from Rob, for whom good B&W seems no challenge at all). Perhaps the "But is it Art? section is not the most appropriate/frequented area for the challenge?
-
Day 3 for me. Portraiture is another genre that I do very infrequently.
-
... post one B&W photo a day for seven days about your life without any humans and no explanation....
Ahmmm...
-
Ahmmm...
Oh, Crap. I think that's silly, but OK, I'll post substitutes. And challenge Slobodan for wandering in here. ;)
-
Days 2 and 3 substitutes.
-
... Garage doors in San Francisco...
There is always one... :)
-
Day one:
(I know the rules say "no people," but I like breaking rules, so decided to post my selfie)
-
There is always one... :)
There is also a classic. I can't remember who shot it, but it's a colour image - probably Kodachrome - of a row of garage doors with the tail of a Coupe de Ville sticking out of one, with the overhead garage door resting on it... lovely colours.
It would have to be a set up. Please?

That's certainly a great example of when colour works. As for the black and white, Slobodan looks very sweet in his selfie. :)
-
Yep, that's the shot, Slobodan. At least I remembered the car type, so perhaps there's hope yet!
Rob

OK, here's my day four. Eggplant (non-human variety)
Note: to invite someone who hasn't posted in this thread, send them a PM and post in whatever thread you see them in.
Slobodan's first post reminds me of a scene in a movie I saw many years ago. I think it was Slobodan climbing a large building. Quite appropriate, since he does such excellent architectural photos. ;)

I like it, very Edward Weston (https://www.google.com.au/search?q=edward+weston+peppers&safe=active&rlz=1C5CHFA_enAU695AU695&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjg85TR1MTXAhUBp5QKHbSbDMwQ_AUICigB&biw=1366&bih=768).

Thanks! I've got peppers, too, but I hadn't been aware that Edward did an eggplant.

Very swan-like. Nice!
Here's my day 5. Squall in Bay of Fundy.

Day 5 for me.

My day 2:
No, no, no! Too reminiscent of the Sydney Dental Hospital (https://www.emporis.com/images/details/388158/exterior-view-to-the-southwest-from-elizabeth-street).
Dentists are evil. :-[

Day six for me: More vegetables.

Day 6.

OK, here's my Day 7, and it's time for me to go to bed.

Thanks for contribution to the challenge. For some strange reason your last post remind me of Michael Ezra's nudes, who knows?

Thank you, Tom.
I am honored to be mentioned in connection with M. E.'s nudes.

At first glance I thought it was a croissant. :D

I've heard many interpretations over the years, but this is the first time for a croissant!
