It’s amazing that we were actually able to pull this off considering the holiday rush for family portraits. If you look closely you will see we’re making the sign language symbol for yellow. Everyone was bright and sunny on a dark day in December. So here marks the last of the warm colors in the series. On Dec. 7th, 2008 about 22 people dressed in yellow infiltrated Sears and took over the studio. It’s a family portrait on several levels. The family of humans, the family of colors, some actual families within the group, and what is it to participate in a cultural phenomenon of the large group portraits? Still trying to figure that one out. Well, here we are in our glory, being mellow in yellow. View more images on the link to the right.
