Phoney

24 Aug 2006

I think it was the combination of yellow handsets and the bright red cup against the plain wall that caught my attention here. Usually I don't take shots like this, which is a great shame because I actually love photos like this that put everyday objects in an artistic light.

When I was processing this one, I tried the old colour-highlight trick. You know, keep one thing in colour (the phones and cup) while you drop the background to black & white, but to be honest it looked too false (too phoney... geddit!?) to post.

(Taken at the subway station near the Rockefeller Centre before we hopped over to The Village.)
