I have to admit that I prefer these more technical-based and open ended challenge topics more than the ones that deal with ideas and themes. Color is something that I enjoy shooting and it was fun to take that and see what I could either find that entertained me, or use to create a minimalist photo.

First up are the abstract photos:

Lines on pavement
Colored flag
Distressed paint
Tiles in the diner
Rolls of napkins
Cups
Staples
Peeling paint

Next up: interesting colorful objects

Candy at the store
Ketchup and mustard
Marbles
Bicycles in a blue drawer
Mexican restaurant down an alley
Bells on a red door

Colorful hidden portraits (because they make me laugh most of the time):

Shakespeare
Boy
Tiled dog
Viking mural

The easy pickings: Flowers.

Purple and yellow. Don’t know why it ended up with this effect but I liked it.
Backlit purple flower
Violet
