“The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.”

These are delightful colors–very striking. Thanks for the morning “light up”. Have a good day! Hope you’re feeling a little recharged.

Thanks, Mary Ann. Glad the colors lightened up your morning. And, I hope you guys have a great day also.

Monte, thanks for sharing this shot. It’s funny how a simple, striking, colorful image can summon up memories by association. When I saw this, I immediately was reminded of a vendor’s stall at a market in Florence. Now you’ve inspired me to dig that photo of mine out of the pile of archive CDs and post!

I’m glad this image works for you. And, isn’t that what we hope our images do for someone. Our work can trigger many emtions and memories for our viewers as well as us. Thanks!

Monte, beautiful colors. My first thought was where is it cool enough to be selling scarves this time of year…assuming the photo was taken recently? 🙂

It was taken last week at a coffee shop in UPtown Westerville called Java Central. They have quite a bit of crafty/homemade things. I like that about them. I go there to write and find quiet. It seems most of my images are from airports, hotels and coffee shops. Man I gotta get life! 🙂

Nice Monte
I’ll be glad when I can start thinking in color again 🙂
