Last week I was paired up with a very humorous Milton www.flickr.com/photos/22688581@N06/ to get pushed. After noting that most of my images are very vibrant, he set forth 3 similar approaches to get me to "tone it down": 1. a great monochrome & you have to shoot it standing on 1 foot; 2. a duotone & shot while you and not your camera are submerged in water; or 3. a muted RGB relying on subtlety to make the photographic point & you are eating a sardine sandwich. This is my submission for #2: duotone (albeit not while swimming or sinking).

it's snowing again in Montreal and this little gem just landed on my windowsill. The first 12-sided snowflake I've ever seen.
