Thank you for viewing and your feedback.

My abstracts are NOT digital paintings and they are NOT photographs of paint on canvas. They are macro, close-up photographs of small constructs created using household materials to give line, shape, texture, shade and colour. Without the camera, I don't have the end-products (the images I upload here to Flickr), nor will i have the intended FINAL final products, the photographs printed to canvas.

An image I wouldn't mind seeing again and again is the continuing aim of my abstracts. Some work better than others. My abstract stuff is made possible only through macro photography and the low cost of digital photography. I don't use paints or digital painting apps. I use household materials to make small constructs with texture, line, shape, colour, shade. This I view through the camera and shoot. It has been a humble privilege to be able to continually experiment and be able to display the results here on Flickr. I owe Flickr members and friends a whole heap of gratitude for their continuing encouragement and feedback going all the way back to 2008 when I joined. Without it, I probably would not have ever exhibited my works. Mainly small, solo exhibitions, 4 so far through 2018-2019. Happy to say I have sold about 40 one-metre wide/high framed canvas prints so far through the exhibitions.

I mainly use or have used Pentax digital SLRs K-50, *ist DS, *ist DL2, 16 Mpixel, 6 Mpixel, 6 Mpixel respectively. The most common lenses I use for abstract macros are a a few old lenses bought in charity shops - Carl Zeiss Jenna 50mm/2.0 and Supermulticoated Takumar 50mm/1.4 or 1.8.

Keep thinking, keep experimenting, keep shooting.
