Thanks, Bryan. But it's not a competition you know. Plus, it's always nice to see some LF color around here.




Aaaaaaaand we're back to black and white.

Right, of course!
There are certainly more or less abstract photos. This one you just posted I can tell what it is...the one on the page before I would have had no idea, if you didn't tell us.

That's one of the things I like about it though. Me, I'm not very good at seeing fully abstractly. Which is something I would like to work on.

It's funny, because I don't feel like I see all that abstractly either, but I do think in terms of tones and shapes, and I enjoy playing around with reducing my photographs to the bare minimum where the subject becomes light and shadow itself rather than an identifiable object. It doesn't always work out, though. Rest assured that for each of these images I post there are usually two or three other attempts that were pretty awful.

I like this! An indoor equivalent of Equivalents.

Now that's some praise I don't deserve, but I'll take it!

Some of you will have noticed that I have been shooting this same bed sheet off and on for over two years. It hangs perpetually on the clothes line on our back porch, mainly because it acts as a sun shade during summer. Every couple of months it seems to have shifted into a new arrangement of folds and when the light hits it I can't resist. We've all got our tropes, I suppose.
