Photo Friday: Archives of Aqua
Inspired by my friend Nichole's gorgeous new book Paris in Color (for which she strolled the streets of Paris hunting down and photographing scenes infused with one predominate color—she covers ten gorgeous hues inside the book's pages), I decided to take a little saunter of my own through the image archives on my computer. The sheer volume of images is overwhelming, but as Nichole mentioned in her book, narrowing your focus down to just one color allows images to rise to the surface that might otherwise be overlooked.
So I ended up selecting my favorite color, aqua (no big shocker there) and had so much fun rediscovering old images that I'd long since forgotten about. I think it's a great exercise, and one that I highly encourage you to take as well. Don't you want to join in the fun?! What color will you start with?

Such beautiful, delicate colors. Aqua is the color of this summer.
Aqua is one of my faves as well - great photos, such beauty in overlooked places.
Aqua or any shade of blue is my favourite colour. I have a full board dedicated to blue on Pinterest. I started a series called 'collectible colour' on my blog where I gather things I already have in my house (can't buy anything) in one shade of colour and photograph it on a white board. It makes for a nice exercise and is sometimes amazing of what you might think is an easy colour to gather compared to difficult ones.
Here's my last example: http://www.fishlynews.com/2012/05/collectible-colour-may.html and the one that started it all: http://www.fishlynews.com/2012/01/collectible-colours-january.html
what brand are those colored pencils? they're so pretty :)
Thanks so much guys! Cam, the pencils are by Prismacolor. They're the best! xo Ez
Love this idea Ez! I think 'Brave' is my fave, along with that gorgeous wintery cactus.
Hello Ez, I'm an italian illustrator and follow you for a short time ... I must say that I have conquered with your own photos on Flickr, because this color, "verde acqua", as we say in italian, is always in my heart because my father is originally from Sardinia, and every summer of my childhood I spent in this beach as you can see this link

Beautiful photos - lovely colour!
What a great collection of aqua photos. And a really lovely idea too. I'm tempted to do it too, starting with yellow, I think!
Beautiful! I think that chain link fence photo is one of the first things I ever pinned, way back in the day. ;) I love aqua!
Gorgeous! Aqua is my favorite color too, and I'm loving all of your beautiful images! I would probably start with aqua too if I ever got around to doing this :)
Wow, such beautiful photographs. Aqua has to be one of my favorites colors as well. It's so soothing (:
