Description
This is something I've been wanting to do for a while, and it took about 40 shots to get it right. I was using Crayola pencils, which bore the golden logo that kept shining on other pencils. In this picture, you can faintly see this in a couple of pencils towards the top - I attempted to edit it out in Photoshop, but couldn't get rid of it completely. But since this was the best of the bunch, I thought I'd share it with y'all...hope you enjoy it

Wow. Nice. Simplistic idea yet *so meaningful.
I can see why it might provoke people to bother you about racism.
Anyway. Very well done! I *love the concept!
But I have one question.
Why *did you pick the white pencil to stick out?
*emphasis on word

There are actually many shades of white that are colors because of the pigment in them, but true white light is a combination off all the colors. The same is true for black, except black is absence of all light. Both colors hold many different meanings, for example, in America black is often associated with death, but in Japan white is the color of death.
I think it is a very good picture, and when i first saw it, I thought it was more a symbole of unity because white isn't one color, but all the colors, we are stronger together. And those who think its racist, stop being so ready to jump at people. There is a lot more meaning to the colors black and white besides skin color. Racism sucks. People shouldn't go looking for it places, especially in art, which deals with all different colors and symboles.

Haha your gallery is amazing. You do wonderful shots and this is certainly another of your best. I like how one pencil is backwards so there is some off set to the picture and its not all the same like every other colored pencil picture out there. beautiful job.
