"Frozen yogurt is tastier than ice cream...


...nobody is too old for cartoons,
bald men are sexy,
chocolate is the best medicine,
BIG books are better,
cats secretly rule the planet...



"Pink in Prague"
Prague Castle/St. Vitus Cathedral
Prague, Czech Republic


...and everything should be available in pink, including...monster trucks."

-Richelle Goodrich (Smile Anyway)






P.S. Not my normal editing choice, but sometimes a photo just calls for selective color.  Why?  I chose to use this technique  because I felt it helped give a sense of perspective and scale that was missing when the photo was edited entirely in black and white.  Plus...it was pink :).

Here's where I "link up" today.

    Glad to see you finally see how this whole cat/dog discourse ends up. [wink wink] In a day where 'selective color' is the equivalent of a photographic slap in the face - you do it good. Hell, you take the currency of 'in-vogue' and show it who's da boss. Beautifully done. Honestly do people line up to be in your street photography cause you capture the most amazing moments.

      Thanks Nicki...I really do like street photography and finding "scenes" that people just pass by. BUT...this is exactly why I'm always so far behind everyone else I travel with, my eye always seems to find something it finds interesting. I really liked this little bit of pink because it kind of puts the whole shot into scale and perspective. So immense and intricate! And no...no one lines up for me...actually, I'm always scared people will SEE me taking their photo! haha.

    I love this photo! Such a creative approach. The girl in pink is so small compared to the majestic cathedral and the Christmas tree, that it takes some time to spot her, but then I couldn't take my eyes off her. I also like it that she is off-centre. Fabulous!
