NEW ENGLAND YANKEES CALL IT “THE COLOR’ AS IN, “THE COLOR WAS BETTER LAST OCTOBER,” OR…MUST HAVE BEEN THAT DRY SPELL THAT RUINED THE COLOR.

Each autumn sumacs display their leaves in a dazzling palette, competing with the birches and maples. Days later, the Color is gone. Like the dep blue of an October sky or the warm orange of a winter fire, it is impossible to hold. Perhaps color’s ephemeral nature motivated early humans to search our ways to posses it.

I became fascinated with color while doing my stories on textiles—how could I not—when photographing the vibrant colors on an Indian Sari, the muted tones of a yuki tsumugi kimono, the natural pigments used to color an Egyptian tomb.
