Color...a winning combination!

Of course when anyone sees what I see in my photographs and then the club members reinforce the idea I  smile from ear to ear. You might like these images too. Photographs taken on the run, so to speak, in a laneway in the Argentinian capital... a second hand store for recyclable clothes. It may not be in every man's interest but nevertheless there are men who gave my picture the thumbs up! The gloves won the vote and the  other below I have added as it was taken at the same time and has remained a favorite of mine. This brings me to the notion of the psychology of color.

 Yellow...happiness, laughter, cheery, warmth,optimism, hunger (for what?), intensity, frustration, anger, attention-getting. Red...love, romance, gentle,warmth, comfort energy, excitement (watch any bullfight), life and blood.
Black...dominates the lower photo...authority, power, strength, evil, intelligence,thinning/slimming, death, mourning and I think....sophistication.
So what of these colorful houses also spied in Buenos Aries ?

And doors? Lots of Blue...calmness, serenity, cold, uncaring (I don't think so), wisdom, loyalty, truth and focused. These houses were initially painted with colors stolen from the wharves where the port workers, all immigrants, worked in order to survive the hard times.

These two were, perhaps the next generation, or I should, say the grandchildren of the original dockworkers. They welcomed a photo or two of themselves and their surroundings. Again, yellow and blue dominated although some green could be seen...natural, cool,growth, money, health, envy, tranquility, harmony, calmness and fertility.
