“Pink and Teal for the One that Got Away” by Collin Day

Thank you Collin for your photograph “Pink and Teal for the One that Got Away.”

“The photo I originally took a few years back during the fall when I lived in California. I went into the garden department of the Lowes I worked at and was drawn to this blanket of chrysanthemums. I took a few dozen shots and came out with a really crisp vibrant close-up which has always been one of my favorite photos to experiment with new editing techniques. Which is ultimately why I chose it dig it up from my archive of photos to work with.My ex is also a photographer who often works with gradient maps when he is editing his photos. I was inspired by one of his edits of Lana Del Ray with Pink (a favorite color of his) and Teal, so
I took a page out of his book and updated this photo for heartart. I thought it was befitting considering the theme of the event. He has since moved to New York to pursue his dream of becoming a famous photographer, we still talk, we miss each other, this is my homage to Tony, the one that got away.”
