Motion

This weeks challenge is to capture motion.  I love trying to capture motion that adds a bit of drama to an image or to a story.  This image was from the Old City in Morocco 2 years ago where speeding mopeds would brazenly wind their way through the tightly congested paths full of people, street vendors and the occasional animal. 

This week I am going to challenge myself to a B&W motion image, something that I have not done much with.  My preference has always been to have color be the defining motion element, so for me, this is a chance to push myself.  I will post my results next week.  Feel free to post links in the comments sections to your images.

Picture of the Day

Picture of the day -- last year Bikepacking in Morocco. I love the reaction of the kids. B&W just works for this image. Bikes, no matter where you travel, have this way of bringing people together, putting smiles on everyone's face.  We had stopped at a little market to get some water and tea and these kids were so intrigued with both us and the bikes.  While I was on a Salsa Fargo, Richard was on a Salsa Mukluk, a bike guaranteed to draw attention no matter where you go.

Keeping it Simple

The definition of SIMPLE is relative. Two wheels can take you far and wide, allowing you to experience new things and connect with people in a way you often can't imagine.
