Last week the Baltimore Camera Club had a \u201cthemed\u201d print competition:\u00a0 \u201cminimal photography,\u201d which was not further defined.\u00a0 I checked on the web for a definition and found it was pretty diffuse and vaguely defined, both in words and by example.\u00a0 One mentioned component was the use of minimal equipment.\u00a0 As I don\u2019t believe the equipment used is really relevant to the content of a photo, I sort of ignored that one.\u00a0 I defined it for my purposes to mean an image that is elegant in its simplicity, having minimal detail that yet conveys meaning, and\/or a straightforward composition of masses or colors \u2013 a visual haiku. Still pretty mushy, but I had a few images that I thought qualified.\u00a0 We were able to submit three color and three monochrome images. These are my six, one of which took first in novice color and another took third in monochrome.\u00a0 Feel free to guess which ones placed, and please, please, submit comments on the images.<\/p>\n
