Why This Template?
Greetings and welcome to my new blog. Without knowing what the focus of the blog will be, I chose a template that spoke to me personally. I feel it is clean and simple, yet shows something I love ~ photography. I have always had a great appreciation for photography and particularly love black and white. Two black and white photographers that I love are Ansel Adams (landscape photo below) and Susan Burnstine (city scene with ice skaters photo below). They have wildly different techniques, but both are stunningly beautiful. This love of black and white photography was the motivation for selecting this template and theme for my blog.
As you can see, for the background I selected a stock, black and white photo of an individual looking through the lens of a single-lens reflex camera. I changed the default font to Courier because I liked the idea of the retro look that resembled an old typewriter font. I did leave the font coloring as the default as I like the aesthetic of the the bright orange "popping" off the black and white image.


I love this one! I also love black and white photography. Its so much more dramatic. There's a great online course here at Miracosta, that I'm also taking currently, and the teacher is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love the background you chose! Very appropriate for the style you described!
