“Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.” – Paul Gaudin.
The July Fourth official colors are Red, White, and Blue. I don’t have an excellent white flower, so I’ll offer Bedlam Farm colors from my garden instead. They lit up my morning.
The first thing I ask when I go out with my camera is, “where is the sun? Where is the light coming from?,” This morning, the sun was right behind the prettiest flowers, guiding me and my camera.
Happy Holiday, I’m working on my portrait of an artist and my photos of artist Matt Chimian in his studio. Color is the language of my dreams; it reminds me again and again of what is beautiful in the world.
Color lifts the spirit.
More later.
I took these photos with the Leica 2; it soaks up color.
“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way.” – Georgia O’Keefe.
Jon, I just love how you look for light. That’s exactly what makes your pictures so delightful, you capture the light and you capture the spirit of the light. I love Georgia O’Keefe’s quote, thank you. I used to paint in oils, now I paint in cloth, shapes and colours, like Maria. (canadian colour/color)

Jon, Georgia, Paul and you are so correct. I love these great colors. Thanks for sharing.
