Minimalist view of reflections in a pool in Uptown Charlotte, North Carolina.

Last week, I wrote about a Minimalism project that I embarked on over the summer. This week, I’d like to share 10 more images from that project. In the spirit of minimalism, I’ll keep my words to a minimum and will let the clean, simple photos speak for themselves.

Never underestimate the value of a self-imposed photo project like this to get the creative juices flowing. If you're looking for a project to give yourself, it could be color-themed (e.g., all things blue) ... or shape-themed (e.g., things with triangle shapes) ... or nature-centered (e.g., trees) ... or, as I chose, things with a minimalist motif. The most important thing is to have fun, find inspiration and get out there with your camera.


Photographer's Footnote: All of these photos were taken during walks around the city of Charlotte.
