Color Construction (Single)
DESCRIPTION
This was one of those photographs that attest to the truth of the proverb "You can't get the shot if you don't have the camera." I went into a conference room of the company with which I was about to have a job interview, when I saw this. Fortunately, I had in my briefcase the very little Canon Rebel SL1 with the good 35mm f.2 IS lens, which I carried for just such an unforeseen opportunity. These days, we do see more colorful colors from those kinds of Tyvek panels, but I've never seen a color pattern quite like this at other construction sites. And, of course, the visible presence of workmen in that landscape of color was a welcome addition to the scene below me.
