Complementary Contrast


I saw these people and stopped them to take their picture. They were so happy to pose and I was just as happy to take the photo.

magic game fun

hey buddies,
I remembered this tool I used to play with a lot online and thought you'd all enjoy it (BECAUSE IT'S SO FUN)


http://labs.ideeinc.com/multicolr



It searches flickr and pulls up photos only with the color that you choose in it. But! You're not limited to one, you can choose more (up to 10) and it finds the ones with those schemes in it.
it's a really lovely tool, please try it for a bit!
