“I like to use really basic or classic colors, things that people have seen over and over and over again. Primary colors, at least in photography, have been around a lot longer than neon colors and really vibrant purples, hot pinks. Red, blue, yellow, orange - because of Kodachrome and the way that things were produced I think that those colors stood out more than any others.” PeopleThinkingWayHas BeensUseColorPhotographyRedHotBluePrimariesClassicYellowOrangeNeonPrimary ColorsHot Pink Author:Alex Prager

“We are now going to the Lamanites, to whom we intend to be messengers of instruction... We will show them that in consequence of their transgressions a curse has been inflicted upon them - in the darkness of their skins. We will have intermarriages with them, they marrying our young women, and we taking their young squaws to wife. By these means it is the will of the Lord that the curse of their color shall be removed and they restored to their pristine beauty.” MeanHas BeensShowsYoungLordDarknessWifeColorConsequenceSkinsCurseNativeInstructionNative AmericanYoung WomenMessengersMarryingPolygamyTransgressionPristineIntermarriage Author:Brigham Young

“The leaves do not change color from the blighting touch of the frost, but from the process of natural decay. They fall when the fruit has been ripened and their work is done. And their splendid change of coloring is but their graceful and beautiful surrender of life, when they have finished their summer offering of service to God and man.” MenHas BeensDoneBeautifulFallProcessNaturalColorSummerFruitFinishedSurrenderOfferingDecaySplendidFrostService To God Author:Tryon Edwards
“In some ways painters have been more important in my life than writers. Painters teach you how to see—a faculty that usually isn’t highly developed in poets. Whether you take a walk in the woods with a painter, or go to a museum with one, through them you notice shapes, colors, harmonies, relationships that enhance your own seeing.” WayHas BeensImportantWalksTeachSeeingColorPoetShapesHarmonyWoodsPainterFacultyMuseumsWalk In The Woods Author:Carolyn Kizer
