Someone's dishes are gonna be dirty
London, ON, August 2010
Welcome to Thematic Photographic's yellow week. I've done this color before, but I enjoyed the week so much that I've decided to revisit it. Come to think of it, I'm somewhat partial to any color-based theme, so watch for more along these lines in the weeks and months to come.
This is an admittedly odd photo to kick off our theme. Then again, I have an admittedly odd way of looking at the world, so it's just as well that I had my camera with me after coming across this scene in a local parking lot. I can't even begin to explain how this yellow glove came to be here, and I'm not sure any of us really wants to know. But it was asking to be recorded all the same. So I obliged.
Photography, after all, isn't always about what we choose to capture. Sometimes, it's about the things that choose us.
Your turn: If you've done Thematic before, I won't stand in your way. Post your pic, leave your comment here, and have fun! If you're new to our weekly photographic share-fest, click here for more background on how it works. We promise it doesn't hurt.
There's just something about those yellow gloves...
ReplyDeleteI've got some over here as well!
Yellow! Is there another colour that makes one smile more broadly? Especially when it is a silly yellow rubber glove..... or a pair of rainboots ..... or the duck outfit my son tried to fit into last night when we were at the second time around store looking for a Halloween costume.
ReplyDeletehmmmm......I think I've got a few yellow pics in need of posting. :)
I thought I was gonna be stumped then I remembered this one..

ReplyDeleteHere are my little splashes of playful yellow...

yellow is caution...being cautious i nearly said i will pass again...but waiting for the best time to try someting new does not WORK for me....
ReplyDeleteBTW~it was a lot more work than typing a bunch of stuff~
I understand exactly, some subjects just demand you take their photo.
ReplyDeleteYou can see my contributions this week here
Carmi I'm curious, was the glove left exactly like that or did you reposition it just a bit? Can't believe all the posts already. I'm excited...and I am offering 3.

ReplyDeleteHi Carmi! Posted my yellow-ish pics on my blog :) And thanks so much for your nice comment on my last entry! :D Love your photo. Someone has thrown down the gauntlet...
ReplyDeleteOops, forgot the link http://zestoflemons.blogspot.com/2010/10/yellow-findings.html :)

ReplyDeleteMy "yellow" is up!

An ordinary object turned artistic. Is a very lovely shot. Did not think I would ever say that about a rubber glove....
ReplyDeletehttp://fredamans.blogspot.com/2010/10/thematic-photographic-yellow.html
That glove shot is eye-catching, I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteBlogger let me down on the photo uploading today so not as imaginative as I'd hoped, but anyway Here is mine
Here's a yellow thing...
ReplyDeleteDishes? Thank goodness... I thought it was a surgical glove! ~ jb///
ReplyDeleteIt is a little sad... lost and alone in the middle of a black asphalt jungle.... sigh!
ReplyDeleteI went back into the days of printed pictures and film and into the old albums of twenty so years ago to find mine. But, every once in a while it is nice to remember and put those memories into more than just pictures... as the time is so fleeting as you know. I think your post on your now.. 16 year old did it. I think he was 11 when I first started blogging and found your site. My daughter will be 25.. simply cannot wrap my mind around that.
So my shades of yellow and Halloween past is here.
nice. there is a story there somewhere...thanks for the props today...i have two boys myself (6&8) that are all about superheroes now...but i think the discussion you had with yours is an important one to have...
ReplyDeleteI can't resist another yellow themed photo, even if it is on the orange side of yellow.

I just couldn't resist searching for yellow, all day long. Is it a soul-satisfying experience? Maybe.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Day 2 yellow post!

YELLOW! Great choice! Yellow is my favorite color. I love yellow flowers and have plenty of pictures of them . . . but I wanted to share something a little different. Just took these, this past week . . .
