Publish five photographs which 'Capture the Colour'. Sounds easy enough, right? Wrong. In addition to having an artistic eye and access to expensive camera gear, pro-photographers are well-versed in editing software. The best are also magnificent curators, expertly choosing shots which best represent the beauty of a moment caught on film (or a memory card). I, my dears, am not a pro-photographer. I simply delight in manifesting visual memories of experiences I can later share with family, friends, and lovely people like you. But when both Sara and Robert invited me to partake in this year's Photoblogging Competition, I could hardly refuse...
Red:
Champagne flights with a best friend on one of my last "summer in New York City" nights.
Blue: Wishes in magical water, much like the rest of the Icelandic landscape (Þingvellir national park).
Green: Solitary spring break stroll through Porto's Crystal Palace Gardens.
White: Maison de la Photographie on a rainy day in Marrakech with Anna and Leslie.
Yellow: The Easter lunch setting with my French family, two homemade foie gras' included.
It took me days upon days to scour through my photo archives for five which (1) are predominately monochrome (obviously I wasn't entirely successful) and (2) "showcased the beauty of our planet's natural landscape, impressive man-made wonders and exotic cuisine, as well as animals, friends and once-in-a-lifetime experiences." As life's abundance often translates to a busy schedule, I figured I'd drop in now that I'm satisfied--enough--with my entry. Thank you to Sara and Robert for the challenge! Now, it's my turn to nominate five more bloggers to join. I chose a few whose photography skills I especially admire:
Hope you can participate, ladies! If so, make sure to complete your entry with a tweeted link and #CTC13 to @travelsupermkt.
