In the Interest of Color

This morning I participated in the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk, through with 1117 photo walks were planned in local communities today and tomorrow. The Corvallis photo walk was organized by one of my local photography friends, Jones Oliver. It was great to get out and meet other photographers! We had local folks from Corvallis and a few from other towns in Oregon, as well as my brother from out of state. 

I captured this image of the purple chinese eggplant and the orange peppers specifically with our current exploration of the color wheel. It's a triadic scheme, purple, orange and green, in approximately the recommended proportions. Do you think it works?

More images of the photo walk to come later! Hope you are having a great weekend.

Symmetry

I'm not sure what I really like about this photo... I think maybe the symmetry of the mailbox and flower box in the wall. Or maybe it's the interesting color combination? It could be the composition overall.

What do you think?

Inviting

Isn't this the most inviting little scene? The gate is cracked open, just waiting for someone to step inside. There is tantalizing view of the flowers in the courtyard, showing that someone put thought and effort into the space. The purple house makes me think - hey, I want to know this person who paints their house purple and has such beautiful flowers. I want to sit in their courtyard and drink tea. (Of course, this is in Italy, so it would be coffee they are drinking, sadly for me.) I love images like this that invite you in, where you can make up a whole story based on it. They say, "An image is worth a thousand words," but each of us can use a different thousand for the story. How fun!
