More From Jules Feiffer

Bastian had climbed a dune of purplish-red sand and all around him he saw nothing but hill after hill of every imaginable color. each hill revealed a shade or tint that occured in no other. the nearest was cobalt blue, another was saffron yellow, then came crimson red, then indigo, apple green, sky blue, orange, peach, mauve, turquoise blue, lilac, moss green, ruby red, burnt umber, indian yellow, vermillion, lapis lazuli, and so on from horizon to horizon. and between the hill, separating color from color, flowed streams of gold and silver sand.
Blue Color Sky
We walked on the beach, fed blue corn ships to the seagulls, and munched on blue jelly beans, blue saltwater taffy and all the other free samples my mom brought home from work. i guess i should explain the blue food. see, gabe had once told my mom there was no such thing. they had this fight, which seemed like a really small thing at the time. but ever since, my mom went out of her way to eat blue. she baked blue birthday cakes. she mixed blueberry smoothies. she bought blue-corn tortilla chips and brought home blue candy from the shop.

Most eyes have more than one color, but usually they're related. blue eyes may have two shades of blue, or blue and gray, or blue and green, or even a fleck or two of brown. most people don't notice that. when i first went to get my state id card, the form asked for eye color. i tried to write in all the colors in my own eyes, but the space wasnt big enough. they told me to put 'brown'. i put 'brown', but that is not the only color in my eyes. it is just the color that people see because they do not really look atr other people's eyes.

I turn and i look back across the lake. the mist is gone and the ice diminished, the drip of the icicles quick and heavy. the sun is up and the sky is blue empty blue light blue clear blue. i would drink the sky if i could drink it, drink it and celebrate it and let it fill me and become me. i am getting better. empty and clear and light and blue. i am getting better.
Lakes Light Blue
For many years, i have been moved by the blue at the far edge of what can be seen, that color of horizons, of remote mountain ranges, of anything far away. the color of that distance is the color of an emotion, the color of solitude and of desire, the color of there seen from here, the color of where you are not. and the color of where you can never go.
Distance Mountain Ranges Blue
Color tends to corrupt photography and absolute color corrupts it absolutely. consider the way color film usually renders blue sky, green foliage, lipstick red, and the kiddies' playsuit. these are four simple words which must be whispered: color photography is vulgar.

I wanted to transfer to an art school, and ended up going to the university of southern california. they had a cinematography school, and i said "well, that's sort of like photography, maybe that will be interesting." and once i started in that department, i found what it was that i loved and was good at.
