In 1976, after several years of photographing in the studio, I resumed carrying a 35mm camera as I had done a decade earlier when photographing in black-and-white (1967–72). Since then I had worked through some ideas about attitude, color and art in my Post-painterly Polaroids (1974–76), Treasure Tones (1975), and Sweetstuff Candy Polaroids (1978). I wanted to see how the experience I had gained could be applied to a set of color photographs made by what I thought of as a conventional photographic practice.
