South Barn - 1/5

We get trapped in our own habits and become comfortable therein.

Thus I needed to break away from my recent monochrome vision. So what better way than a nice blue barrel.

 

Studying the 'Kindergarten' approach to color of Johannes Itten and the philosophy of Josef Albers who asserted that color "is almost never seen as it really is" and that "color deceives continually", he suggested that color is best studied via experience.

 

I set out into my new color filled world. One thing I learned was that colors should not be arbitrary, are specifically interdependent in our photos and if you take a color away or substitute it the image can change dramatically.
