“Color is my day-long obsession, joy and
torment.” Claude Monet
With respect to art, there was a period
where artists such as Van Gough, Gauguin led by Matisse abandoned the idea of
using color to define objects but let color become the subject of their art. In architecture you do not usually find color
the defining element, however, La Placita Village is a case in point.
La Placita Village is a business complex
downtown that presents the photographer with a multitude of lines, shapes and
angles –it is a group of buildings where the architects were let loose with a
box of 32 Crayola crayons. La Placita is a village where color collides
with design -and color is the subject of this post. The images were all shot using a Sony Nex7
camera incorporated with both a 16mm lens and a fisheye converter for some
images.
