exploring nature’s infinite connections
It is that time of year again to reflect back on the photographs I made this year. This marks the 6th iteration of this process, and I see no reason to stop. It is a bit of a tradition for me, and I know many other photographers also do the same as...
Pantone announced this week their pick for Color of the Year 2013, which is Emerald (aka. Pantone 17-1463, or RGB value R0, G152, B116). If you are new to my following of this announcement over the years, you can see my previous posts and previous colors under this...
