Monomad Challenge - A Journey through the Years - AQ

in Black And White2 months ago (edited)

Hello dear Black & White Community,

I am not as much of a photographer as my beloved Iulia but I have collected some great photos in my eyes across the years. I thought I would share & see what you all think of them.

I rarely had a proper camera & have always had to rely on my mobile phones for the most part, which have been usually rather cheaper models, so I apologize if the quality of the photos are slightly lacking at times.

I ordered the photos from oldest to most recent. Hope you enjoy the journey.

Cherry Blossoms at my Old Home in Luxembourg 2019

Phoenix Rising from the Ashes, Alchemical Calcination 2019

This one I particularly love, I was doing a calcination of the leftover plant material to retrieve its salts from the ashes afterwards, which I then added to the tincture I had made from the same plant. The Salts and Essential Oils in the tincture marry together in a reaction, creating a very potent initiatic medicine. It was a surprise when I looked through my shots of the fire to discover one of them being shaped in the form of a Phoenix literally rising from its ashes.

For the Sake of Transparency & to avoid any possible flags, these photos are all taken by me Artin Qiparosa, I might have used one or two of them especially the older photos in my old account @ravenking13 or @housecatharsia, I linked both of them in their respective description to this new account, they are my old accounts that I have stopped using. Although if I did share any of the older photos there, I never tried them in Black & White that I am certain of. The more recent pictures I am sure I have not shared so far.

I will be continuing to use PeakD on this account together with my beloved Iulia where we share our Life Experiences & Adventures, although Iulia has made also a separate account in which she shares her photography mostly, so as to keep things a bit more sorted & less confusing.

Blessed Regards,
Artin Qiparosa
