Well it has been an interesting adventure this week! I can't say that I mastered the master (Andy Goldsworthy) but I certainly have come to appreciate how hard he must work at creating his ephemeral sculptures. I tried to create several 'copy cat' versions and none came even remotely close to the reality I had envisioned. Add that I then had to beautifully photograph said creation and it was all a bit much for me. I did give it a whirl though and had fun trying a variety of different options. Below is my closest rendition. First photo below is obviously the master himself, second is my feeble copy.
To be totally honest I was so absorbed in trying to master a master this week, that I had pretty much decided I was going to completely ignore "Cool Colors". Then the fates intervened. I woke this morning to the most amazing pea-soup fog, thicker than I have seen for a very long time. I dropped Kelly at school then raced home, got my camera and set off on a fog-filled photo journey. While these may not in fact classify as cool colors, I wanted to share them anyway. I figure they are close enough? Cool and mysterious? Cool and eerie? Cool and misty?
