Color Assignment... ...finally

So here is my "color" homework, and I went with red.  I feel that red is very powerful symbolically, and has a very wide variety of meanings.  Patriotism, Communism, evil, and warmth to name a few.  Here is a small sample of photos that put red on display, and help convey a symbolic meaning.  ...also, a couple of the photos don't have any meaning...  they are just red.


this any-town barn is representative of americana and patriotism


not that Fugazi is evil, but rock n roll is...  ...especially next to Mary


the shoes I mow the lawn in...  ...are also red


this is a bar in Cambridge...  and next to this apt. building, you can't help but think of communism


just an old Washington Senators hat, and a cover from a 1943 Saturday Evening Post I have framed behind it


my daughter has a mobile of paper cranes in her room that one of my friends made...  I kind of like this geometric abstraction of the red one


lots of red during the holiday season...  ugh


here is my example of warmth...  olive and dylan cuddle to stay warm
