Haybales & Pumpkins
PHOTOGRAPH INFO This photograph was taken on Sunday afternoon at a "pick your own" farmer's market in the Lehigh Valley. About ten minutes after I took this shot there were 30 people wandering around the field looking for the "perfect" pumpkin. When I first saw this scene I thought about Jasper John's painting called "Flag (Moratorium)" where he inversed the colors of the American flag. You can see the painting here: http://www.litchfieldcountyauctions.com/gallery/album04/DDSC05763?full=1 There's a cool optical illusion that goes with the painting: If you stare at the little white dot in the center of the painting for 30 seconds, then look at a white surface or white wall, you'll see the flag as it usually appears. I'm sure someone out there can explain what the phenomenon is called. :) Here's a flag painted by someone named Thaw Malinart whose colors are a bit closer to the ones in my photograph: http://www.thawmalinart.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/Flag5490.jpg Post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D Thank you for visiting Durham Township! --Kathleen
