Having embraced colour in a way I wasn’t expecting at the beginning of the year, I have come to discover that there are certain tones and hues that keep returning to the pictures that are being added to my favourites folder.
Mostly these are greys, greens, and light blues - mostly pastel hues within a certain gloomy atmosphere that tends to work (for me) both in the brighter light of Greece and on the tarmac of transit airports in more overcast countries.
The picture below is a case in point: not only are the colours part of the aforementioned mood board, but the subject matter is almost a reflection of what I am sure I look like much of the time when in transit or en route, and the content and material nature of the image (glass, steel, concrete) is somehow more widely symbolic of the age we live in.
Travel generally provides time for reflection (as well as boredom): occasionally this holds up a mirror to my own situation, while in more creative moments there is an opportunity for abstract photography and images that are more deeply evocative of movement and pace.
