thoughts on color

I seldom shoot color. It’s not that I don’t like it, I do, but I’m rarely satisfied with the results I get. I don’t often like what I do with it. I’ve gotten so used to doing b/w that my color seems weak, that it doesn’t have the bite of b/w, and it doesn’t. But maybe it doesn’t need to. It has it’s own qualities.

I want to add more color to what I do, so I’m gonna challenge myself to work with it for awhile to see if I can make it work. For how long? Who knows – maybe a few days. Maybe a few weeks. We’ll see. Maybe I’ll decide that no, it’s not my medium. Maybe I’ll learn to like it. Only one way to find out. Stay tuned.
