Oh the Colors

Nepal was to say the least absolutely amazing. Vastly different from America or Japan or anywhere else I'd been to for that matter. It was quiet like stepping into an entirely new world. We soaked up every ounce of this baffling exotic new world we possibly could and it wasn't lacking. It was hippie artistic mecca . There were so many things to be taken away but stircly from an artistic standpoint the two most prominant were the fantastic colors and contrasting landscape.

The colors were vibrant and arose in the most obscure places. Of course you'd see intense pigmets in prayer lag and temply decor but amidst the cloudy mountain tops neon painted houses would poke through. A beautiful balance of muted and saturated.

The landscape was contrasting and complex. Yes there were mountains. Giagantic, dramatic mountainscapes. But there's plateus of farmland, clouds creeping in like rivers of pillows, sweeping valleys, winding rivers and perfectly nestled lakes. Every mountian point is a winning sunrise spotting location and no place is dull where it dips below the horizon as it falls into sunset.

I'm sure not only from the photo references I've gained but the visually contrasting beauty upcoming work will be influenced. I'd like to think in  both a conscious, decisive manner as well as inherent details that have worked their way into my natural flow.
