Does He Not See Me?

2022_CLondon52w15: ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Martin Parr 

From the C.London website: “Known for his vibrant colors, Martin Parr’s work documents the everyday in a hyper-real way. Often comical, his well placed colors heighten the scene from what may seem mundane to something with true character.”

The inspirational concept for me this week was Martin Parr's Beach Therapy series. While spending 10 days at the ocean in Hawaii, I only had a one day window at the start of this week's challenge before leaving for home. I strolled the beach on Saturday afternoon seeking scenes that Martin Parr might capture.

2022_Clondon52w14: Color Schemes

From the C.London website: “Referring back to the introduction to color theory, this week you should pick one color scheme and utilize it in your image. As a reminder, some basic schemes include: complementary, analogous, and monochrome. If you want to get a bit more advanced, use this helpful tool via Adobe to explore some other schemes such as compound, triad, or split complementary.”

It was easy to use the complementary color scheme created by water and sand when along the Kaanapali beachfront on Maui, Hawaii for this week's challenge.

After shooting some pics of my family on the beach, I caught a candid moment during a family smooch.
