The Letter G in Color

I skipped a week because we had company last week, all the way from home. So the photo blog took a back seat. Regardless, here are the pictures I took two weeks ago of the Letter G in color. I feel like the color from my pictures is still washed out. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. Also every picture will tell you why I took the picture, if it isn't obvious.













Alanya's Manhole covers all have 3 Gs on them, perfect.













Who doesn't love alliteration? Green Glass on Grime



















Erin liked this sign, sometime old stuff
has the best character.














Painted gourd ladies are a popular hand craft
here in Alanya.




















In fact this is what Erin will look like
when we start our gourd crafting business.













This woman is making Gözleme, a popular fast food
here in Turkey. It is basically a quesadilla with different
fillings. Erin and I plan to make it with Bacon when
we are back in America.

I want free stuff.

Yesterday I read about a cool looking camera bag at Digital Photography School and this bag looks way cooler than the one I currently have. They are giving one away and I just entered the competition by making this post. Also They have some great articles and ideas for photographers.

Week 6: The Color Purple

Trying to find the color purple was not easy in the environment so flowers were the main subjects.



I love the smaller purple inner ring on this flower.












There is a farmer's market everyday in Alanya. Eggplant is one of the most used veggies in Turkey.





Beautiful Hydrangeas.










Who doesn't want a purple house?









The wisteria bushes have started blooming like crazy here in Alanya. They are beautiful, but they smell so bad.

Week 5: Archive search for Emotion

So I found some of the Pictures that I felt either conveyed an emotion or made me feel an emotion. On a fundamental level that is why we choose to click the shutter right.

Love



Boredom


Kismet



Joy

Added Plan

So I missed my walk last week due to having a busy weekend that included working (boo). Since I didn't get to take a walk I decided to add a new possibility to this project. Since half of photography is what happens after the photo is taken I have decided to roll the dice and use archived pictures to complete the project. These photos must be taken by me but I can manipulate them as I wish, It's my game I make the rules.

The topic: Color word of the Day: Emotion

This will be cool.
