How one sees color…

April 29, 2008 | Filed Under Chiang Mai, Thailand 

We often think that first thing a person notices is light and then color. While in Thailand we had healthy combinations of both as we explored the country. In response to the last post I am going to give you a glimpse of what is around us before the shudders snaps.

We are back in Chiang Mai at the saa paper shop that we spent some time at. It was two story building with no pavement parking lot, no shopping carts to carry your paper away in. It was rather simple and large. The second floor was nothing but rows and rows of various saa paper. Some were made into books for journaling others into photo albums. But near the back was a quite a lot of stack of flat sheets in varying sizes, thickness, and colors. As we walked by we were both pretty exhausted from a long day of seeing a few market places. Katie saw these stack and took the camera and started firing away. This is the outcome:

You can see by this picture and the two at the end of the last post. She was seeing the combination of light and colors. There is almost a symphony if you look and listen.
