All members that participate, can everyone PLEASE ensure that you read all the rules for this challenge so that you can claim your challenge points. Thank you! :)

October is a good month for me. Not only will I be celebrating my birthday but I am also getting to host one of my favorite challenges this month, the Artist Inspiration challenge. I just love seeing where the shared art leads everyone's page creation.

For October, we are going to focus on photographers for our artist inspiration. Our first artist is Ansel Adams. I have been in love with his black & white photos since my college days. Here are a few photos that might inspire you.

I realize that everyone might not be inspired by black & white photography. Maybe your inspiration will be found in these photos by Galen Rowell.

In creating your layout this month, please do not use the photos above in your layout. These photos may be copyrighted.

Your challenge this month is to create a layout inspired by one or more of these photographs. The page can contain photos or be photoless. The topic and contents of the page are up to you but it must be inspired by one or more of the above images.

Here is my page. I was inspired by the photo of the single piece of foliage from Adam Ansel. Initially, my masked photo was going to be in b&w except for the hibiscus flower itself. Once I began working on my page, I realized the page would be better if I used the full color photo. I can't wait to see where your inspiration takes you.

My inspiration is mainly the 3rd photo down of the colored photos along with the colors of fall in the first of the colored photos. It was the depth perspective and seeing trees in the background as in my layout.

Here is mine - inspired by Ansel Adams. Usually with pictures I take of the mountains I always scrap them in colour, but B&W really worked for this one because it wasn't the greatest quality of photo out a window in a restaurant.
