THE ICE CREAM MAN IS COMING !

IceCream

First of all let me apologize for yelling in the title of this post, but I get excited when I see this guy. Now I know there are some of you out there who know him.

Those were the days when the Good Humor man would drive around the neighborhoods ringing his bell and all the kids would be chasing the truck. I really think he didn’t stop immediately to make us work a little for our ice cream, LOL. When he would finally stop he would get out of the truck dressed in white with his bow tie and hat (even if it was 105 degrees out).

Those were the days when the most expensive thing he sold was 25 cents. I was at a local car show over the weekend and I came across this wonderful old 1960 Ford Good Humor ice cream truck and it brought back some great memories.

Now if I could only find an old Bungalow Bar truck !

Flower I

SS 1/60   f10.0   ISO 400  

This image was taken last week during a trip to Grand Cayman Island.  I found the flower on the ground when visiting the Botanical Garden and placed it on a fence railing to photograph it.  I am not quite sure what the name of this flower is, but am thinking it must be in either the anemone or daisy families.  

Monochromia appears to be off to a fabulous start.  I am thrilled to be part of this endeavor and honored to have been selected by Joe from The Visual Chronicle to be part of this creative and inspiring group of artists.

This is the first time I’ve posted to Monochromia so please let me introduce myself.  My name is Robyn and I am from the Northeastern portion of the United States.  I have been interested in photography since childhood but only began working…

I was on a walk after the rain and noticed this magical wonderland of droplets.

This is my first post here, so a short introduction…

I’m Elina, an Estonian living in Finland. My journey in photography started about a year ago when I got my first Digital SLR camera and felt I was finally able to capture things the way I had always wanted to.

Taking photos has become an important part of my life and something I really enjoy. It’s fun to see what and how I manage to capture and create. But I feel my photos become “alive” and get a special meaning after they have spoken to someone else.

Bit by bit I’ve started to get an idea of black and white photography and enjoy it a lot. Sometimes colors are too much and removing them helps to see the message or mood in the photo more…

Crash And Burn

I am very pleased to announce the premiere edition of Monochromia, the brainchild of Joe Giordano of The Visual Chronicle. My name is Emilio and I will be one of 7 contributors, each of us posting one day a week.  It will be a black and white only photo blog to which I have the distinction of being the first contributor by dint of a random drawing of names from a hat! If black and white photography is one of your passions, I hope we do not disappoint. If you do not particularly care for black and white photography, please give us at least a week for one of us to hopefully change your mind. The odds should be with us!

 

My family comes from Fontanarosa, a small town about 1 hour east of Naples, Italy. They settled first in New York, but now those of us who remain reside…
