Emily W. Kincke Photography

Meade drinking one of his favorite beverages – a Mint Julep. This is usually a hot day, Kentucky Derby kinda drink, but Meade doesn’t conform. The steam off the top is due to it being ridiculously cold in Brooklyn. Just goes to show that an enjoyable drink is always enjoyed if made correctly.

For this week, I’m going to feature a photo of a slightly different kind. In case you didn’t know, in addition to my photography, I also scrapbook. I’ve started making scrapbooks, cards, gifts, etc. to sell to others. You can check out that website at – Simply Kincke (kĭnk’y).

With this photo-a-week I’m showing off a card I made for a wedding a few weeks ago.

I really love this shot because it not only shows the detail on this card, but at an angle that adds a romance to it. The colors aren’t traditional love and romance colors except for the red, but the combination made so much sense. I pulled from the centerpiece embellishment of the stack of love letters and then from a color wheel. I have started using the wheel in all aspects of my art. I’m even using it in my photography. When looking at a scene, I’ll change my point of view to capture the most appealing color combination. Now, of course, this isn’t a rule to live by, but it’s fun to try when the opportunity presents itself. Enjoy and give the color wheel a second look – it’s not just for painters.
