It has a lot to do with what “they” tell us is the season’s “in-very-now” colour. But on investigation, brown can be dark and somber or rich and juicy; … Continue reading Brown Out
Hue, Me?
In my fingerprint there is the sum of all that I am …
… the black and white of my childhood when there was ugliness and there was beauty, and there was right and there was wrong …
As I got older I began to see the multiple shades of grey and its ability to portray the subtle nuances of life …

Visual Quotations 30: Ugly
“People took such awful chances with chemicals and their bodies because they wanted the quality of their lives to improve. They lived in ugly places where there were only ugly things to do. They didn’t own doodley-squat, so they couldn’t improve their surroundings. So they did their best to make their insides beautiful instead.” ― Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of ChampionsAbout ugly: “I prefer to believe … Continue reading Visual Quotations 30: Ugly
