The document is about the author's lifelong love of color that began with a science fair project with their father. They see the world in vivid color and use photo editing software to capture what their memory sees. The author is drawn to places with special light, like Tuscany, where the ochre color of the region comes from the raw and burnt sienna pigments found in the local stone. Tuscany is defined by the ubiquitous ochre color in its buildings, landscapes, and way of life, from the villages and farms dotted across the rolling hills to the elegant architecture and well-preserved medieval and Renaissance structures.
