I have a couple I just made that are somewhat interesting (I think) simply because they are presented in a different way from what they are.
Sunrise is the top of a door which I presented upside down and one a simple photograph of a drain hole..

Kirk, You continue to want to discuss something apart from the stated purpose of this thread. Can you tell me why that is the case? I ask that question because, quite honestly, I am confused by the content of your contributions. It seems that your contributions are intended to take things off their stated direction. I do not care to discuss abstraction and it's place in the historical or hierarchal scheme of things. I simply wanted to post and see some images that were not typical illustrative depictions of known objects. Is that too much to ask? If you want to discuss this in the context that you wish then you might consider starting a thread to discuss it.
I get kind of upset when I watch the Antiques Road Show (which happens quite rarely, by the way) and see the value of some of the "junk" I threw away in my lifetime. Have a great holiday season!!!

Doug, Sparq, Ben and Jorge...great images. I like each of them for certain distinctive qualities that are individually inherent in each of them.

if you'll accept cameraless photography in this non-traditional thread, here are a couple of images which are part-photogram and part-chemigram, part printing-out. It's amazing how much colour there is in regular black and white photographic paper...

congratulations to both of you for the work you posted.
Care to describe the process?
thanks, domenico!
These both started off as photograms on regular photographic paper, using printing out in daylight until they went a rich, dark pinkish-orange--the one on the left had a glass jar of water on there to make the caustics and the one on the right had blades of grass scattered over it. Then, in the darkroom, I dropped them into a tray of water, and, using a low-powered torch and a syringe of diluted developer, "painted" with the chemicals. Fixing makes the base colour paler, but permanent.
Playing, really! Lots of fun. I'd recommend trying it, as long as you are happy with chance, chaos, and stacks of wasted paper for the few that come out just right.
