Something Violet
According to Wikipedia, Violet is a bright bluish purple color that takes its name from the violet flower. On the traditional color wheel used by painters, it is located between blue and purple. Violet is at the lower end of spectrum of light, with a wavelength between approximately 380-450 nanometers. Light with a lower wavelength is called ultra-violet, and is invisible.

Portraits of Coney Island Sunbathers
Washington DC-based photographer Caitlin Teal Price supplies us with a series of bright and sunny images that satisy the people watcher within us. Washed Up captures New York sunbathers catching rays on the sandy shores of Coney Island and Brighton Beach. Price’s approach is perfect, it’s almost like she—and us—are invisible, leaving the sunbather undisturbed, unaware of the capture. Each subject seems to have mastered their restful pose in varying ways, leisure being the unifying force.
