I am going to start  putting together a weekly roundup of the best photos I can find around a theme.  Since I’m a huge fan of minimalism in photographs, that will be the very first theme!

Minimalism takes concentration.

The fewer the details in a photo the more impactful it becomes.  There is beauty in simplicity.  Too many details in an image distracts the viewer and takes away from the overall message of the image.  When you are shooting try to reduce everything you can to minimize details and focus on one point or theme.  Reduction is the key here.  I’ve rounded up 10 of the best examples I could find to share with you to emphasis how awesome these type of images can be.
