The story behind Visual Venturing? Simple. I love photography; I love writing; I love desktop publishing. Perfect mix of passions for creating a photoblog. Admittedly, a totally self-indulgent project. Nothing to set this one apart from all the phenomenal photoblogs that exist. But for others like me — those who enjoy the opportunity to “see” more places, more people, more things, more of life — it’s always fun to view one more, because you never know what gems you might discover. Really, that’s it.
The story behind me? Click on my photo to the right for a few more details. Or visit my post Behind the Scenes at Visual Venturing.
Thanks for stopping by. I’m honored. And if you enjoy seeing the world through my lens, follow along. I’d love to have the company!

Just wanted you to know that I am really enjoying the photographs you post on Monochromia. They have a lot of variety to them, especially the people-doing-things scenes such as the hands with the grapes. Every morning I spend the first ten minutes, writing to a visual prompt for my writing journal. The exercise I don’t usually post. Then I do my daily work.
Your photographs make great prompts. Thanks for posting.

Hi Stacy, I thought I was already following your blog but it seems not, so now I definitely am! Always enjoy your comments when you visit me and it’s great to see a more urban world through your lens than my very rural settings here on my Hillside! Will look forward to – finally – getting your posts in my Reader! Best wishes Jane (View from a French Hillside)

Jane, no worries at all. I’ve experienced the same situation quite a few times myself. Thanks so much for your message and (re)follow!

Your photos and words may inspire even without intention. You take gorgeous photos. As a fellow photographer and new blogger I enjoy seeing what others have to offer. Keep it up!

I could go for a more formal reaction but.. OH MY, I LOVE your blog! People are very visual creatures and if that was the way we communicated always, you’d be the master of ethos, pathos and logos.

I am a first time visitor to your blog which I found my clicking on a comment you had posted on another blog. I am struck by your beautiful photography. I started by looking at your animal photos because I am such a dog person and I quickly moved to other topics. Such beautiful work. I myself am a new blogger and photography is not a strength but I need to improve on it. I will enjoy following you.
