Ok - it seems that I am limited in what I can enter in this site - either that or I've not yet discovered how to do what I want to do, which is namely publish more than one picture in one article. So for now, it seems that I've got to place these pictures in separate articles.
That said, here's my experiment with monotones. Though I started out with a colored picture, I later changed its color mixture with your usual Microsoft picture editor. This here is my son, Bryce - in profile, holding a gun (not a real one, of course - just an airsoft version). The picture's graininess was an offshoot of the experiment, but rather than clean it up - I felt that it left a nice effect.
