Week 40: Tell the story of a colorful picture, in black and white

Time to get my head back into photography after weeks of hiatus due to travel and after-travel catch-up. What better way than with a very colorful image, but with all of the color removed. Can you imagine what it looks like in color? Would color distract you in this very busy image? Are you able to focus on the intricate design in the absence of color? Does the subtlety of the grayscale appeal to you? Or do you miss the color?

The full original art (in color) is currently at the Renwick Art Gallery in Washington, DC. This is just a small portion of the original. Sorry, I wasn’t taking notes; I don’t know the artist’s name. The Renwick does encourage photos.

Week 21: Soft

In case it’s not obvious, I was going for soft focus, with a twist.

Reston Town Center at Night

I didn’t have a tripod with me while on the roof of a building at night. So I painted with my camera. It’s more interesting than the reality anyway.

Hotel Orchids

abstract, orchids

This is a photo I took a couple of years ago when wandering through the lobby of the  Hyatt Hotel in Reston. Despite appearances, I believe the orchids were real. I was looking up through the orchids to an interesting light fixture on the ceiling. In the end, the orchids ran away with the interest.
