Photo Assignment #3

Each week, Miriam Dyer posts a photography assignment over at her blog.

This is my entry for the "color" assignment. She asked that we submit a photo that is interesting because of its color. The litmus test for this assignment was to convert the photo into black and white and ask if the photo makes the same statement with the color removed.

This photo was taken somewhere in Greenwich Village about two years ago. I believe the house is on West 11th Street because that was where our pediatrician was, and I recall taking this photo after one of Reilly's doctor visits.

Anyway, I took the shot because one can't help wondering whether the shutters were painted because of the Vespa, or if the Vespa was chosen because of the shutters.

Or if it was all just a random moment caught on film.

  1. I agree ... notice the Vespa seat is the same color as the door...red! :) Lesli

  2. Maybe the Vespa was chosen to be the perfect accent for the house -- like you would choose a tie to go with a shirt...
    Great photo!
