Embryo

52Frames - Week 31 - Abstract

EC: ICM

After suffering from another severe case of GAS & coming home with yet another new camera, I was committed to use it on this challenge. I tried various combinations of focal length with the zoom lens, long exposures and multiple stop ND filters.  I chose this shot since it had the most defined subject within an abstract scene.

Space?

52Frames - Week 27 - Trianglular Composition

I enlisted my 5 year old grandson to build a sculpture with triangles using only the triangle pieces from his magnetic tile set. There were lots of triangular compositions embedded within this structure. I was advised that "this is for space".

52Frames - Week 24 - Abstract

A project in design when I retired 4 years ago is now completed.  In a recent visit to the Bay Area, I had the opportunity to make this abstract from reality.

EC: Intentional Camera Movement (ICM)

My intent this week was to find an abstract within my home that did not involve a set-up. This photo is an ICM abstraction of a portion of an abstract painting.

Blue Wave of Decency

52Frames - Week 44 - Abstract

It is my sincere hope that Tuesday will usher in a new wave of decency in the USA.  Politically, I've always been an Independent, voting person over party.  This year, I am so thoroughly disgusted by the indecency & dishonesty of Trump and the spinelessness of Pence, Giuliani, McConnell, Graham and all the other non-leaders who have supported him in tearing this country apart.  The Dems are far from perfect, but a far better alternative this year than what we've endured for the last 4 years.

Time for a change; time for healing; time for humanity in our leadership.
