Color Walk #ecc8f5

 

For my color walk, I decided to utilize a random color generator and also my boyfriend’s backyard.

4:14 PM The random color generator gave me a pinkish-lavenderish color called #ecc8f5.

4:16 PM The first thing I found that matched this color was a flower growing in a bush by the outdoor fire pit. It was the lightest of the bunch and stood out from the hot pink ones surrounding it. 

4:17 PM After I snapped the picture of the flower I was making my way up the deck when I saw this glass flower. The pink “swirlies” fit pretty well with the color scheme I was going for. I liked the real flower better.

4:18 PM Once I was back on the deck I saw my 2020 planner (kind of useless now huh?) laying on the bar. I think the cover of my planner matches the #ecc8f5 perfectly. 

4:19 PM Now I am sitting at the bar looking for the next place to walk around the yard when I saw the top of the ladder that my boyfriend’s dad, Dave, used to take down the “Happy 50th Birthday!” banner that was hanging up this morning. Although I believe the top of the ladder started out red, it has faded to a nice light pink. Perfect for my use in this case. 

4:20 PM Resting beside the ladder was a worn down empty flower part with painted on flowers that I imagine ALSO used to be red. I decided to snap a picture and make that the last photo on my timeline!

I made my timeline using Google Drawing. I wasn’t able to figure out how to use it on Flickr.

DS106 Color Walk

For this assignment, I wasn’t able to create the timeline, I couldn’t figure it out and honestly my walk turned into five minutes. I wish I looked at this assignment before the start of this week so I could have figured it out more. But, I chose the color white. The reason why I chose it was because we just had a huge storm, and the most prominent color I saw was white. At first, I didn’t think I would find a lot of nature things that were colored white, but I found a lot of flowers! This was a fun project to test some of my photography skills. I am happy with how my pictures turned out, especially all together.

DS106 Week 3: “Color Walk Time Lines”

I decided to take a walk with my sister, Emma, in New London, Connecticut. When we were younger, we used to take Cambodian Dance and Language lessons in this town. We were adopted, so our parents enrolled us to get closet to our culture. I have not been back here since I was 10 or so. There were a lot of old memories that came back, a feeling of nostalgia. We were adopted into different families, but our mom’s loved bringing us here. We would come on Saturday mornings. It would be about an hour drive and it was right on the shore. I chose the color blue because there was blue everywhere. This was a very memorable assignment that I enjoyed doing!
