ALL THE SHADE

I’m a big fan of black and white photography. Landscapes and portraits. It’s simple and yet a complex mix of shade, of brightness and hues.

When it comes to experiences black and white just won’t do. I want bold and soft. Pastel and neon.

I want to live in a world full of colorful personalities, ideas, music, art, sound, laughter and beauty. Surrounded by it. Hugged by it. Held safe by it.

I want to see the many different blacks and the thousands of shades of white playing inside all other colors. Changing them from dark to light to dark again.

I can’t imagine a world where we can’t describe things with color. People, places, smells, and sounds made more full, more powerful, and more understood because of color.

Black and white are beautiful colors but they aren’t the only ones. Next time you laugh at a joke ask yourself… what color did your laughter sound like.
