primary pillars, a photo from Texas, South

Photographer's Note

art gallery: 2

I was facinated at this exibition opening. There were all sorts of people the turned out to be interesting art objects in thier own right.

These guys caught my eye because of their primary color solid tee shirts (I know that orange isn't primary but pretty close :), also I give thanks to KevRyan for encouraging the hunting of primary colors.

They had an interesting composition set up here and I was able to snap a few shots. Funny enough the guy in the red is one of the artists and he was getting his picture taken at the moment.

The people in the background are a destraction but they wouldn't move, so I had to deal with them.

Very nice capture, Brady! Indeed, a humorous setup, two people waiting for the cameraman to finish up and then another one sneaks in from behind...he, he, he...
The BG people are not THAT of a destraction, as the vivid colors of the FG people are so prominent (and their stiff pose) that it takes all the attention needed...
Well taken!
TFS!

very well seen... great compo, people well spread out... and of course those colours.. they all seem mesmerized by the painting.. looks like too much of a magenta hue, but could be just my monitor... too bad the guy in the doorway is looking straight at the camera.. also not sure about the black frame... a strong photo overall though..

Love your title for this frame. Simple, unpretentious, unusual.

"Simple, unpretentious, unusual."

Agreed...

However, what about cropping their heads off (or perhaps half of their heads and converting to b/w?? I think this may look quite cool with the b/w artwork in the back...
