February’s personal project: Colors
Ever since Spencer Lum's workshop back in July of last year, I've been thinking about my palette. Palette, in photography, refers to the colors that you use. In any given scene, a photographer chooses to include or exclude based on artistic choice. And a photographer chooses which scenes to photograph, obviously. My palette tends to pops of color, but I sometimes find myself avoiding color or working against it. So in February I made a conscious effort to seek out colors and work with them in their vibrancy. Here are some images from my experiments.
This is probably my favorite from the set. I've always been fascinated by geometry and shadows. When working with just color forms, balance becomes the key player.
I wasn't purposely trying to be abstract, but that's how my initial wanderings turned out. Later on I took some photos with George while we were "ingressing" (don't ask).
Any thoughts? I'd love to hear what you have to say.
Y'all, this is my husband. He's away at the moment. I prefer when he's here.
This is a normal "tourist" photo of George and me "making like the" Statue of Liberty. I have a lot of "making like the" photos in my personal collection. George says we are going to cherish them someday. That is likely. But I'm definitely going to have to teach him about camera angle and lens choice and not making my thighs look enormous.
Then we were done with all that and caught this street show. What's really weird is that I saw the exact same show performed by different guys at Central Park the next day. I don't know if it's a franchise (a street performer franchise??) or if someone ripped off the other group... but it was the same routine - down to the same jokes! I thought that was so odd.
The next day, I had breakfast with David and Carrie.
David makes his eggs too runny.
