True Colors (Three);

Sometimes color is the defining element, essential to the image. Having seen the image with color, it is hard to imagine the image would be interesting without color.
Certainly these Chihuly glass rods would lose their vibrancy as gray shapes on a black field.
And sometimes color is literally the whole point of the exercise.
Other times, though, even if the image might be acceptable without color, color makes it much more interesting.
Comments
After a lifetime of mainly expressing myself with words, my postings here will mainly rely on images. They will speak for themselves to some extent, but I'll usually add a few comments of explanation. I've taken photographs for decades, since the 1950's, inspired in part by my father's photographic skill. Four years of photo assignments and quality darkroom time eventually gave way to decades of casual and family picture-taking. I re-immersed myself when I left film and turned to digital.
