"My Two Favorite Colors"
There is not much explanation or elaboration needed here. Anyone who knows me or has visited our home knows that blue and orange rock my world.
I have been working on another photo project around the theme of "two." The assignment was to create a diptych. Various ideas have been bouncing around in my head for the past three weeks. I finally set out this past weekend to do something about making the ideas into a reality. I took the pictures for three possible diptychs, but I think I knew all along which one would be "the one."
On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, Weber and I were walking through a nearby park. The park was filled with wrought iron benches - all of which were empty. In fact, there were virtually no other people around. It was kind of strange feeling. Where were all of the people? Why weren't they outside enjoying the spectacular day?
I started wondering if people fear being out in public. Do they feel too vulnerable? We all know too well how quickly lives can change and can end in an instant because of the actions of one person. It is from these thoughts that I created the following.
"The Power of One"
I recognize that this is a little creepy or spooky, as one person described it. I guess it is supposed to be. It is meant to illustrate how a single action of one person can leave a school, a park, a heart lifeless.
