Monochromatic Mind
Creative photography paired with short stories
This book is an invitation to embark on a journey into the limitless expanse of the human imagination. In a world with technology and inundated with preconceived notions of possibility, this book serves as a beacon, reminding us of the boundless potential within our minds. It is a celebration of creativity in its purest form. Through a collection of imaginative micro-stories, readers are transported to worlds both familiar and fantastical. Every story is accompanied by striking black-and-white photographs, serving as visual prompts to ignite the creative spark within. As renowned photographers eloquently express, there is a certain magic inherent in black-and-white imagery. Far from being restrictive, monochrome photography allows for a level of abstraction that transcends the confines of reality, inviting readers to explore realms of fantasy and emotion beyond the limitations of color. The book urges us not to passively consume the stories fed to us by the world but to actively engage our imaginations to tear down the barriers of what we believe to be possible and to embrace the unknown with open arms.

Title: MCM for the Win
Review: I am reading MCM for the third time. Each time the text says something different. The use of black, white, and gray tones in the photography continues to amaze me. The writing format is very effective in conveying the author's mystical-like environment. It allows the author to create a dream sequence. I hope others enjoy it as much as I have.

Title: Homerun
Review: I understand this is the author's first attempt at a new book format. Nailed it!! On the grammatical side, second person singular is a very tough tense to maintain. However, the author maintains to perfection the verb tenses. Using this verb tense allowed the reader to go down the road of many personal memories.
