This is the BAWIB topic.

Actually, quite nice. Light, airy and depending on the yarn used it could be very colourful.

Good image that reminds me of a shot from Sarah Moon's story in Paris on "Little Red Riding Hood" where the child has this huge shadow on the wall of a thing more dragon-like than wolf.

That's photography, after a while; after you crack the how-to, then it becomes a matter of what 'n' why, the why being the most difficult.

Surprisingly, there are folks who believe that when you confront that gigantic why, you are being negative rather than realistic and, dare I say it, pragmatic?

Jolly good fun, isn't it?

Hi Rob, I completely understand your position and the issue you have with what 'n' why, it's when you start applying your position and issue to others in general and amateurs in particular - so most of LuLa - that I begin to take issue.

;-)

I haven't noticed "others in general" taking particular umbrage at my personal beliefs; in fact, as they have mostly never had the other side of the photographic equation with which to compare, I'm sure they don't see things from that perspective at all - how could they?

If this is somehow an extension of the "street" discussion, then I am on the same playing field as the rest, in fact, for who ever that did street ever made a buck from it unless you want to include the latter day art photographer bunch, which I don't put into the pro category at all - they do something quite else. In medical terms, I think of the gulf between faith healers and the qualified specialists who saved both your life and mine. Guys like HC-B did documentary for left-wing magazines and then, through Magnum, for any magazine that wanted to buy.

Yesterday's sunshine is todays friggin´gale, and the joys of loading and unloading a bootfull of shopping when the lid can't stay up of its own power. In times such as this, photographuy doesn't even register, though LuLa and my nose for news does.

Rob, it's my personal belief that the work I'm doing now is far more rewarding than when financial reward was a part of the equation, but I would never suggest that this belief in any way applies to or is of interest to anyone other than me.

Hi JR.

No, I didn’t paint the walker. The light was fantastic at that moment. There is a building reflecting the early sunshine and spreading that ‘shine’

About the thread.
Statement: Color photography is much more difficult to master than B&W.
I know this is a bold statement, but the thread proves itself. 
It is said that color distracts. I don’t agree, color adds an extra element.
It is true, for some photographers, color is a burden. When color photography is practiced, the element ‘color’ seems to push away all other skills to make a good image.
The topic is a bit of provocation and the purpose is to challenge all who is interested in color photography.

Some contributions are fine examples of good photography, others an example of how color can be more difficult to handle.

I find it interesting to see how different peoples approach ‘color’

Tx for asking.

Kind regards. Ivo.

A crude experiment of mine from around 1973 (slide sandwich). The majority of what I knew about colour photography at the time was its use in representing "reality". Because I have never had formal photography or art training, it was only by poking around in libraries, bookstores or galleries that I became aware of photographers such as Ernst Haas, or the fields of colour used by some of the abstract expressionists, or ever mused about the emotional impact of colour. I don't have any specific recollection of intent regarding this image. But it always brings to mind a line from Joni Mitchell's song Chelsea Morning: And the sun poured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses.

Understood, I think many would.

The reason I decided to capture the image was because of the colour cast from the intense green walls, how this contrasted to the other room where I was standing and a desire to capture the subject as it was.
