I almost missed this new contest from @derangedvisions , I got so busy at the weekend reading posts - I need another me just to be reading posts and leaving comments - so my twin can create some posts for me to share with you all!

Anyway the theme for this weeks awesome @derangedvisions [Photography contest is Black and White photographs](https://steemit.com/derangedphotography/@derangedvisions/deranged-photography-contest-colorblind-theme) so get taking some great black and white photographs or do what I did and convert some of your old ones.

So lacking time to go out and photograph things (it would be black for sure, it's nearly 11pm lol) I decided to play iCloud photo library Russian Roulette - open up my library and scroll it up as fast as I can with both thumbs blazing and the photos are a blur - then leave it to catch up and where it ends is the one to black and white. I lucked out on this shot, pretty sure this is from Snowboarding in Chamonix, France.

Well this one is not bad either, my boys when they were a little younger taken at Drayton Manor theme park.

Now, of course the problem with Russian Roulette is you have to accept the consequences when the game goes bad - fortunately my iCloud photo library isn't going to blow my brains out - but it's shared throughout the family so it's full of photos that are not my own.... (I have marked this post NSFW to protect the innocent, viewers of a nervous disposition should close this page right now)

Now there is a story behind this particular photograph, although it's pretty much just hammering more nails in my coffin. My youngest, who I brought up to share brought some little friends back from school - by little friends I don't mean class mates but more tiny and difficult to catch then that. And he shared his tiny little friends with me, so this photograph is after I had some sort of extreme pesticide lotion applied to my barnet - and the wooly hat is to keep the little buggers escaping before it had the desired effect. 

Anyway, looking at the positive at least I have a #haturday to throw into this post!

So go forth and win SBD with your black and white photos, enter the [colorblind theme](https://steemit.com/derangedphotography/@derangedvisions/deranged-photography-contest-colorblind-theme) photography contest by leaving your black and white photos in the comments of [this post](https://steemit.com/derangedphotography/@derangedvisions/deranged-photography-contest-colorblind-theme)

The greatest challenge we face on Steemit is getting our posts seen, I have always believed the simplest and best value way of doing this is by commenting on the blog posts of others, the more you engage people and interact with them the greater the chance they will visit your own blog and return the favour. Other then spending all my free time commenting on Steemit posts, I also distribute [coffee roasting machines](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk/collections/coffee-roasters) and also [espresso coffee machines](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk/pages/espresso-machines) and [roast my own Speciality Coffee Range.](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk/collections/speciality-roasted-coffee) being one of the premium [coffee suppliers Yorkshire](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk) including a wide range of [filter coffee sachets](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk/products/knightsbridge-filter-coffee-sachets-50-x-3pint?variant=31757582282)
