Red is a strong color. It can represent passion, happiness, danger or beauty. In China, it is the traditional color worn by brides and symbolizes joy, luck and happiness. In Japan, bridges in the gardens of temples are painted red because they are passages to sacred places, and red is thought to expel evil. In ancient Rome, the words for beautiful and red were identical. In some places in Central Africa, red can also represent mourning and death. The Red Cross changed its colors to green and white in parts of the continent. But red is a friend to photographers. A small splash of it can go a long way to making a good photo. Here are some examples of Press Herald photographers seeing red.
