Why brown is a weird color

Have you ever stopped to ponder the peculiar nature of brown? Unlike the vibrant primary and secondary colors that dominate our artistic palettes and digital screens, brown stands apart as a shade that doesn't neatly fit into the established color categories.

Victoria' Secret Fashion Show 2013

When I started photography, the annual Victoria' Secret Fashion Show was the hottest shit. There was no YouTube back then and getting the CBS broadcast was difficult for me in Germany.
