Holi – The Colors

The Festival of Colors is about Colors… so I figured I’d do a post focusing on the Colors at this year’s Holi festival in Utah.

I Didin’t get any colors on me until about 9hr into the day when this batch of yellow hit me.
Choosing your spot for the color explosion is very important. I picked a bland spot… but I made it work and focused on the crowd experience and colors.

Of course no fun event would be complete without some Jarvie Window pictures.

People responded to these sooo favorably that I ended up with several hundred shots in just over an hour.
Shall we do another post focusing on some of my favorite Holi pictures – Jarvie Window style?
In any case here’s a teaser

    Looks like you guys had a blast photographing the event. The pictures are great. I must say, the Jarvie Window really lends itself well to the colored faces!

    Scott, well-freakin-done. Absolute brilliance! plus, I’m out-of-my-mind with excitement that you even have TWO photos of me.
    It’s cool enough that I got to meet you, but I am just tickled to death that I made it onto your blog! :)
    Keep on rockin!
