pristine white...

...is a flower


which i've noticed are very hard to capture - white flowers that is.  i don't know why - white is simply a difficult color to get exactly right once you're trying to process it... it appears very different as you're looking at it through the lens - there are many shades and variant layers to it - so it got me to wondering why you see the myriad names at paint stores for white...

there is no "just white"... you've got your antique white - off white - linen white - vanilla - white ice... so on and so forth  - not to mention all the various slightly off whites and ivories you could possibly dream of - it's endless.  wouldn't you love to be the person who gets paid to come up with all those names?  be able to daydream the hours away - thinking up the latest and greatest which will win over the general population of the paint world?

it's like ice cream flavors... or the plethora of yogurts that have suddenly hit the shelves - have you noticed them of late?  it's totally gotten out of hand... who eats all this stuff?  but there are people sitting around the table - getting paid good money in a think tank - coming up with fun names...

happy day.....
