| fact that it's color to have it be not just a | world about you, and trust to your own |
| colorful picture but really be a picture about | reactions and convictions. Ask yourself: |
| something. It's difficult. So often color gets | "Does this subject move me to feel, think |
| caught up in color, and it becomes merely | and dream? Can I visualize a print - my own |
| decorative. Some photographers use [ it ] | personal statement of what I feel and want to |
