While on a trip to Florida, I photographed different parts of the parks throughout the days that I was there. Originally I had set out to focus on the depiction of the various countries in Epcot, one of Disney's parks. However, I found myself being drawn to a lot of the mechanical aspects of the area. After all, the park is completely run on mechanics and all of the magic that is presented would not be shown without these parts. I found myself focusing on the color yellow, orange, red, purple, green, and blue colors of rails, lamps, and operative systems that surround us in the park. These colors are the six main colors of the rainbow and are also the primary and secondary colors, which means that they are each others compliments. They are so intertwined yet so different. The warm colors are all hazardous or cautious things that were represented in the parks. The cool colors are revitalizing and calming or whimsical. I printed the images the size of an average postcard size. This to me references the fact that Disney, Sea World, and Universal are picturesque places and these are images of all the things that hold up those ideas, yet would probably never be showcased on the countless postcards that these companies produce.
