_____ with Envy

Texture is difficult to convey in an inherently two-dimensional medium. This photograph is an attempt to merge color and texture in one image. I’d like to find some good literature on revealing texture in photography. Hmmm…I feel a trip to the bookstore coming on.

Again, this image was taken in Dubai, U.A.E.. There’s much more color in the desert and the Middle East as whole than is normally thought. Another interesting thing is that once you train your eye to look for color in the desert, a walk through any downtown district in a major American city is almost too much to handle. It’s like waking up and immediately stepping outside. It’s like being born! You wake up and you find yourself squinting through one eye while the other is shut completely – a sensory overload of sorts.
