A Colorful Mood

            I've been in kind of a colorful mood lately.

There's been some beautiful light out there on the streets.

You'd never catch me shooting in color after the sun sets...

But when I ran into this woman I ran into a polytonic explosion!

The shadows were growing long and it was gettin' to be the 'golden hour.'

She was a lot of fun to shoot...

And her personality was as warm and as colorful as her self.

When I first bumped into her I was shooting in black and white...

She asked to see the picture and before she finshed objecting to the mono magic I had switched that sweet D300 to the technicolor mode and I shot her as we talked.

It's been the most amazing summer I can remember in a long time.

Nothin' but love and light.

When you're walking on sunshine the world can see that.

The 'light seeks the light.'

I hope you've enjoyed your summer so far.

It's movin' fast.
