My world

Nature is full of colour.
And a proper photographer should capture it.

I have done that many times,
as I should.

But not today, not in those photos.

Today I choose monochrome.

I choose colour to be an absent element,
screaming its presence,
by not been there.

What I do in life is important.
And I get judged for that.

I often feel though
that what I don't do, is equally important,
if not more.

The lie I didn't say,
the job I didn't take,
the path I didn't follow.

And today
something more trivial,
the colour I don't show.

Diving in nature
as in a bucket full of shadows.

A palette of greys
forming a still world.

My world.

Some times you have to hide something
in order to make it visible.

By hiding colour I don't disappear it,
I emphasise it.

And by cutting my words
I strip my thoughts
from a useless veil of babbling.

Or at least I try.

This is my entry for the #monomad challenge.

_{The camera that I used is a Canon EOS 6D mark II with an EF 100mm f2.8L macro lens attached. I edited the photographs in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic .}
