It was all yellow

060714

We spent the day driving around with some friends – those rare kinds of friends who really don’t mind if you want to stop approximately every seven minutes to take a picture of something you saw beside the road. I’ve written about this before, about feeling rushed when you’re with people who are used to your peculiar ways, and how it can have a negative impact on your work. But these friends got it and didn’t mind stopping – in fact, they encouraged it. And, even better: they suggested some places to go that they thought I’d like.

This was one of their suggestions, and it was a treasure of visuals. Like this room, that used to be even more yellow than the way I saw it.

Check back for more shots from the Day of Driving and Photographing.

  1. Love the colors in this – quite ‘painterly’ or whatever that awful word is for such a good quality. But of course, I’m most impressed with your friends. Really nice folks!

  3. Lovely, lovely: colors (I see that touch of blue, always so nice next to yellow), composition, and—of course—objects themselves.

  5. All the lines lead to that door, but this room should come with a safety warning – when is the next bit of ceiling going to fall in?!

    • I didn’t even think about getting smashed by a falling ceiling! I used to have a hard hat in my car at all times; maybe I need to start carrying it again…

      (My family will argue that my hard head is likely to be protection enough, but we can just ignore them…)
