Less is more.
One color at a time.
I found this neat group on flickr. It is called, "Color Fields (Abstract images, just ONE color in the whole frame". This group has a simple concept: take photos of a frame-filling field of A SINGLE COLOR and post that. It can be textured, have imperfections, etc...but the frame should be filled with one color. They should be abstract enough that the color is clearly the focus, and the most important thing in the photo.
I really like that.
Today's topic: Color Fields
To further explore this (aside from visiting this group) here are some interesting links.
"Krazy Dad" has an "Experimental Colr Pickr" that displays pictures based on your choice of color.
The ever important Wikipedia weighs in with this article.
A note of clarification regarding the title of this post. Yes, I know that Kodachrome has nothing in common with monochrome except, I suppose, that you could take a monochrome picture on Kodachrome film...
Anyway, enough of that, here are today's top ten color fields. Enjoi.

Color. What else can you say? Color is exciting. Tasty. Energizing. Refreshing. Relaxing.
And who better to tell us about it *besides the artists above* than Paul Simon...
Take it away Paul...
When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonderI can think at all
And though my lack of edu---cation
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall
Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away
If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
my sweet imagination
everything looks worse in black and whiteKodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Leave your boy so far from home
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
As always, thank you everyone for sharing
good night
