This is my kind of photograph.  I admit I get into the documentary aspect of this blog, showing what's there, whatever it is, because you do need to know, but when I get to a photograph like this, my whole body responds, my skin starts glowing and if you listen carefully, you can hear a little buzzing hum coming from inside me.  Why?

(Please enlarge.)  The laundromat sign, white and at an angle to the yellow canopy.  The red, yellow and blue forms (primary colors) against the sandy wall.  The little shapes below and the big shapes above.  The small glowing orange, green and purple colors below (secondary colors).  The scrawled bio text at the top of the wall, so necessary, and if you don't believe me, try blocking it out.  See?  There. 

I knew you'd understand.
