Trying to find inspiration and trying something new

It may not come as a surprise to many of you, but I have really been struggling with my photography. I think the biggest problem I’ve had is that I don’t want to go out and take photos.

Yeah, it was my birthday last week and since both my daughters were unable to be with me my youngest organised to have some flowers sent to me. She said it was so I could take photos of them.

Monochrome Madness – Forbidden Places

I am calling this edition of Monochrome Madness Forbidden Places because everywhere is forbidden to me right now unless it is within 5 kilometres of my home.

Yesterday I did one of the Manchester Unity Building (MUB) that I thought was boring, but for Monochrome Wednesday I have one that I think works a lot better.
