Color or Composition

In Ketchikan, Alaska there is one of the most colorful streets I've ever seen. Both literally and metaphorically. Creek Street, the row of buildings below that are built on pilings over the water, is not a street but was the "red light district". Dolly's House, the building on the far right of the photo, is today a museum taking you back in time to the days when this row of wooden buildings were all bordellos. They were not shut down until 1953.



"In my photography, color and composition are inseparable. I see color."
