Color Code

Between 2008 and 2012 I carried my camera everywhere, and color became my subject. These photographs were less about objects than about the way color clung to peeling walls, faded signs, or the sudden flash of clothing in the street. Part of them were published in my earlier book The Boring Vivid Colors of Life.

In recent years my archive has grown wider, and I decided to honor it by selecting 64 photographs and arranging them by hue. Page by page, the tones shift almost imperceptibly until the change is undeniable. Life shifts the same way. Each day feels unchanged until the mirror disagrees, and by then the person you remember no longer exists.

The images below are a selection from the project and do not represent the full body of work.
