I’m a big fan of the Stark Black and White filter on the iPhone camera, formerly known as Noir. I recently went back to some older photos to see what they might look life if I converted them using this high contrast filter, with its deep blacks and bright whites.

I also thought it would be fun to pair the photos a la the game Ouisi, which I recently learned about when we were ordering games for the Library where I work. The game consists of a set of photo cards depicting a variety of objects and scenes that you pair–not just because they look exactly alike, but because they have like elements, colors, shapes, textures, or other similarities. The fun of the game is that there are no wrong answers. Everyone sees the world differently, and makes connections unique to them.

Shall we play? Here are my connections….what would yours be?

Happy almost-June!
