Jeff Goldblum wants his DNA back

Screened in
Laval, QC
August 2014
See Thematic monochrome for more
This is one of those monochrome photos that didn't start out life as a monochrome photo. The camera was set to capture a default colour picture, but the composition of the specific scene - closely cropped, tight depth of field, cloudy grey background in the fading light of a busy restaurant filled with people wondering why I was shooting clear across the room - resulted in a color-free silhouette.

I love when you lift your camera to your face expecting to take one kind of picture, and then some other unexpected, cool stuff happens, instead - especially when you get to see an otherwise annoying insect in a new, admittedly jarring way.

Buggy creepiness aside, the structures fascinate me. Nature is an incredible sculptor. And this sucker can fly, while I can't, so there's that.

Your turn: What do you do when people stare at you while you're shooting in public?

Quick note: If you'd like to share your own monochrome photo as part of this week's Thematic, head here, as there's still time. I'll post a new theme tonight at 7:00 p.m. Eastern. What will it be? What would you like it to be?

    Nobody stares at me in public. I am an old lady...we are invisible.
