I have challenged myself to do a month of black and white photographs, the challenge is called flash of red February, with the monthly calendar page ending up all black and white except for a flash of red around valentines day. so here goes! The book club is running also which will help tremendously with thinking and ideas , see here.

The first two days are abstract / fine-art photography.
