tell me a color story
This week's C&C Photography assignment is to tell a color story. My color is green and my story is spring/cleaning. I used bits of red as green's complement. In my photos I've juxtaposed the first sprouts of spring with a day of spring cleaning, including tidying, dusting, garage clearing, a trip to the dump, and car washing. The person shown feeding the gulls is my father - it's a photo of a framed photo of him from the 1960s -- I gave him a good dusting while I was at it!

You are such a good photographer! I love that look on your cat's face, and that first photo (geraniums?). That little red bird is a dream.
ReplyDeleteI love green so much. The last collage is amazing. Wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteseriosuly all from this week! you;ve been prolific - a novel more than merely a story. love the muted greens especially.
ReplyDeleteGreen clean! Fantastic.
ReplyDeleteOh! I love the one with the flying birds and the blurred grass. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos as always. When I look at your photos, I always feel peaceful. I love the photo of your Father and the gulls. I really like them all.
ReplyDeleteI've seen that red bird in Gambia ;)
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures....love them all!
Especially the one with your father :)
Happy spring cleaning!
fantastic greens...love the one that is all rusty and looks like it may be a dumpster.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, I love the green theme and how you incorporated your cleaning into nature. Brilliant!

Oh, so many and all so pretty! I love the cardinal, of course, and the diptych with him and the car wash. I like the muted photo of your dad...the sweet photo of the kitty soaking up the rays with the shadows cast on his body. All the lovely greens from the brushes to the leaves. Your collage is awesome!
ReplyDeleteOooo so much beauty.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, nicely provided a green color, very creative.
I find I love the one with the leaves best, but all are beautifully done, and your skill as a photographer is really on display here!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos, I love the bird and person image.

So fresh and springy. The car wash picture jumps out at me. I love it. I enjoy going through the car wash and watching the streaming water travel all over the windshield. Lovely pics.

Lovely greens and blue tones...I really the variety of images that you have put together for your color story.The picture of the daff leaves is my favorite,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
the box at the end is so good, just putting them all together like that. they are like a family. scrolling through all your photos was fun. so well done. the little red bird in there too makes it all make sense somehow. compliments are like that! happy spring cleaning.
ReplyDeleteThe water on the car window! The diptych of jewelry and the plant! Your father feeding the gulls - love the blurry effect of photographing a photograph! The red bird seemingly trapped in all the branches - great texture! The rust & turquoise of the container (?)... And I LOVE your mosaic - beauty!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful story...such a lovely progression of images...well done on this assignment~
ReplyDeleteOh I love your photos this week! I love the rain on the windscreen and the red car behind, but I also love the diptych. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness. i love so many of theses. first the photo of your dad is just beautiful. i'm glad you shared that. and the third one, with the shadowy blades of grass(?), so good. so much beauty captured! we've had a weekend of cleaning and gardening and ours was not quite so pretty : )
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos...beautiful and interesting subjects. I especailly love the one of the birds and the man...it's amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful story! I found myself reading and re-reading it!! I love the bottom left image in your last mosaic! All the images tie in so well!!
ReplyDeleteI love your story... I kind of tried to do the project and mine was the opposite..Red with green. Yours is much more interesting! I couldn't figure out how to tie mine together. You, however, did that very well. My favorites are the grass (great light! vivid color!) and the collage at the end.
ReplyDeleteWow...amazing images. It's hard to pick a fav because I love them all. The one that tugged at my heart strings was the kitty in the garden! That is a truly wonderful photograph of your Father!!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are marvelous. What kind of camera are you using? (if you don't mind sharing). And you reminded me to do some spring cleaning. My late father's photo is on our mantelpiece, in need of some dusting...
ReplyDeleteThank you for your very nice comment on my colour assignemtn post. I am glad you noticed the pattern-story as well.
ReplyDeleteGreen is one of my favourite colours so coming here and seeing the result of your assignment work is delightful.
I am having trouble in choosing a favourite. I like so many different things in your photos. Each photo has something special about it. Like:
# 3 drak & mellow
#7 love how the light falls upon it and enhances or underscores the round shape
#8 love the composition and how the colours makes it look dreamy and nostalgic
#10 crisp
And the lines in # 12, 13, 14 + the soft light in 13
as you see i wouldn't be able to choose :-)
