Portraits

For my photography class, we had to turn in some portraits of people we'd met in Barcelona. I'm terrible at portraits-- I think it's really uncomfortable to make people pose for you because they're usually really uncomfortable. I'd rather be at a real scene, quietly observing and creepily snapping shots without being noticed. But I gave this all a go and here's what I came out with. It's not that awful, I don't think.

There's a theme. I asked people to tell me the color they think they emanate, and then I edited their photo using that color.

First up, Vidal from southern Spain, who described himself as the electric blue painted by that German post-modern artist... I've forgotten his name. But you know, it was that painting that marked the point in modern art when people started making millions off of painting a canvas a single solid color.

Fernando from Barcelona, whom I had lunch with for four hours. He said brown, which made sense since he's a wood carver.

Davey from Belgium, who said that green was his color. Spent the day at Ciutadella Park with him and his friends.

This is the brother of one of my compañeros de cuarto from Ibiza, Spain. His name is Elias and he's really sweet. He's always hanging around the house and he's in a picture or two from previous entries.

Me, with the happy, sunny color yellow. I'm shooting for the sun, anyway.

And last but not least, Megan and the color purple.

What do you think? Do the colors seem to match up with the people? For those you don't know, that's solely based on the pictures, of course... but I want to know your opinion. Dime!
Besitos,
