It Was All Yellow...

Yellow...




I started taking photographs before I was five. I started taking photographs seriously while I was in my teens. And of course, back then, everything was shot on film.



For every hundred rolls of film I shot, maybe only one was a roll of black and white. Why? A couple of reasons. First of all, I started shooting landscapes because I really thought I wanted to paint rather than photograph. I could shoot a photo, record a landscape, and then paint it.





Mostly though, I absolutely love colour. Its vibrancy, its life, the vividness, the  lushness it conveys.




So forthcoming is a series of essays in colour...
