Escape From Alcatraz

Looking back at San Francisco, this image presents many shades of blue and grey. This is seen in the water, on the rocks and in the reflection of the buildings. The rock has wonderdfil cracks in it that divide it, breaking it down into less of a concrete object and allow more shadow and color into it until it meets the water. Where blue is kings and whites and greys come along for the ride giving it more depth and texture than if it were just one straight color, leading our eyes to the buildings where no real color stands out and no color is really seenexcept for the grey with hints of color strewn about the space. I enjoy all the splashes of color throughout the picture, it divides up the piece well and creates dimension, depth and texture that would othermise be lost.

Bleeker Street? What?

While this picture initally made me chuckle, I think the white and its reflexive qualities are very interesting and make this picture what it is. While there is an abundance of white in this photo, it is not the only color that exists. The buildings are of a different shade and color that then reflect in the snow, causing it to be tinted slightly blue, grey or black. The woman in the photograph can easily be over looked as her dress does not reflect any colors, but does stand out thanks to her splashes of dark that make her stand out from all the white surrounding her.
