“Color is the sound an object makes in response to light. Objects don’t speak unless spoken to. An object does not have a color, it makes a color (the way a bell makes a sound). Sound is molecular motion. Color, too, is molecular motion. Color is the selective absorption and emission of light on the surface of an object. As an untouched drum makes no sound, an object in total darkness has no color. A photograph full of muted but complicated color, is similar to a full orchestra playing a quiet passage: powerful resources being used to create a subtle effect. With my eyes I begin to hear what I see.”
