Color study: Pops of red
When looking back through 300 or so photos I took of family members, decorations, and celebration folderol at my brother’s wedding, I noticed that each time my eye wandered, it was to capture some out-of-place pop of warm red.
What about you? Are you drawn to a particular color these days?

Hey again,
funny that you noticed the red-focus thing. I have a whole folder in “My Photos” labeled Red Series. For a few months I took photos of anything with a speck of red somewhere and then combined it into a collage. I’ve never had this drive for any other colour than red. I guess it is a very dramatic colour with somewhat conflicting associations of blood, love, death, warmth and violence.
Cheers,
Christine

Fun photos. Sometimes they use it for visual *punch*

If this doesn’t come through, just go to Google.com, click on Images and type ‘black and white photography with red’

oooh yes! I’ve been seeing all kinds of ugly greens, and thinking about them. How can greens be ugly you ask? welll, they can be acid green, muddy green, dull dead grass green, all the ones with yellow and some muddiness to them. They are calling me. Plus really really bright pink. It is a very curious combo for me.
