“Color. Splashed on the walls of cities, in batches of flowers in gardens, in the doodles of students, and on the palettes of artists, color is everywhere: it may represent our mood, and it can affect our mood. In photography, you can use a spectrum of colors to bring a place to life, or focus on a single shade to make a bold statement…”
Someone recently told me that people here in the east of Pretoria (South Africa) seem too weighed down by the burdens of the world; that there is little joy in their lives. A few weeks back I sat in TriBeCa restaurant at Lynnwood Bridge in the east of the city, having a cappuccino with a friend … And as I looked around I saw a restaurant full of colour. And the colour was all the brighter because of the interaction between people; because of friendships in action.
I see colour … in people’s lives; in their smiles and laughter – no matter where they live. I saw colour on a rubbish dump in Madagascar, in the hustle and bustle of downtown Antananarivo, Madagascar … and in an upmarket restaurant on a Friday afternoon in South Africa’s capital.
(All those in this post gave me permission to shoot them.)

What a lovely interpretation of the theme! Well done!
not only colorful but the photos look engaging!
Love your interpretation.
I think color, in whatever form, has the power to translate something positive to both the receiver and the sender.
Very true. t’s why I don’t think I could live in the UK. Just to much rain, and darkness and gloom…
I like your resume:
“the colour was all the brighter
because of the interaction between people;
because of friendships in action…”
Colourful interpretation!

Great pics!
