Lens Artists Photo Challenge #266 is ‘Time’. It takes a lot of time to tell everything about the concept of time. One aspect of time is change. In time society changes in most cases. These changes can be political (eg equal voting rights), economical (eg equal pay for men and women) or social (eg inclusion). But of course there are more emancipatory changes possible and needed.

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #265 is ‘Black and White or Monochrome’. I love working in non color. I am not interested if it is black and white and grey tones or a one color/tone photo.
So here a photo that might be black and white and monochrome.
I developed my skill to identify a good monochrome or black and white photo when I still used film. Translating colors into grey tones is important. If you do not ‘see’ it immediately then see if your camera or phone has a black and white setting. Contrary to an old analogue camera your tests are free and you can see the result immediately. I prefer to shoot in black and white , not in color. Either by using the ‘mono’ setting of my iPhone, or an app like Blackie or Lenka.

25 years ago I was fortunate to visit Yemen. For this week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #263 ‘A face in the crowd’ I will publish some street portraits of that trip. Looking back at old photos can raise questions: what happened to them in those 25 years? Especially now this beautiful country is suffering from a terrible war.
