I am 100% self-taught. In pretty much everything, including photography. After college (business admin), in the early 1970's, living in Manhattan and working on Wall Street, my roommate and I took up b/w photography as a hobby. We bought SLR cameras and lenses, converted the kitchen into a darkroom and "rolled" our own b/w film into film canisters (it was a lot cheaper). I learned photography by doing it and making a mess. By taking a lot of photos, I developed a very good eye. I learned, by doing. Then Kodachrome became popular (1973, Paul Simon song) and we switched to color and took our photos to a lab to be developed and printed. It was easier.
I then took a break from photography for a number of years. And I moved to LA. Then, 25 years ago, I restarted, doing fashion photography for my BFF's high-end online designer fashion business, using basic photoshop for editing. In 2019, I started creating cool, colorful art photos.

ORIGINS
How it all started
The origin of my Cool Color Photos art
One day, in August 2019, I parked my car in my usual unreserved residential parking lot. It is usually crowded. Often, depending on the hour, you couldn't even find a place to park, anywhere; I live in a popular place in the Hollywood Hills.
typically my parking lot
is like this; crowded
is like this; crowded
That day the parking lot was empty. An empty parking lot in a prime location in prime time during the workweek in Los Angeles doesn't happen. It's wishful thinking. It's a fantasy. It's a miracle. Yet on that day I had my pick of ALL the parking spots. I parked my car.
I decided to take a picture of the miracle with my cell phone.
Then, a few weeks later, I looked at the photo again. It was a typical color photo. I thought it was a bit boring. A car, some trees, some blue sky, a lot of empty parking spaces. Nothing unusual other than the empty parking lot.
I decided to see if I could creatively make the photo less boring. I tinkered with it for awhile. BOOM!

Lone Car
WOW! Now the photo was colorful. Very colorful. Bright. Unusual. Eye catching. Artistic. Alive. And definitely not boring! A very cool, very colorful photo.
And thus Cool Color Photos was born. September 2019.
