Taken with Canon XTi 400D in manual exposure and manual focus modes.
One of my favorite hats, a Canon lens, and a Diet Pepsi bottle.
What a fascinating assignment! A la Matisse, I cut out random shapes from an old desktop sketchpad that had all my old spills, scribbles, and paint blobs. I used a small pen-like rotary cutter as scissors are too hard on my thumb/hand. Then I had some old 5 x 7 matboard so I brayered some black acrylic on those. Then I glued...and figuring out which way to orient them, portrait or landscape, was the greatest fun AND challenge. At first I had only single shapes, but then realized I wanted the pieces relational somehow, then the moon idea came.
I just never realized how powerful and evocative shapes were before this exercise. THEY TELL STORIES - but I dare say, different stories for each of us. I feel as though I will be able to tiptoe into some non-objective paintings based on this experiment. Thank you, Leslie!

Section #3. The third series in my portfolio is a grouping of composition-based studies around urban environments, such as Downtown Orlando. Its purpose is to demonstrate, and learn how line, shape, flow, balance, placement, tone and other basic building blocks of photography composition can be pulled to their extremes and rearranged in creative ways. With a touch of abstraction. To make room for the piece requirement of this portfolio, only two photographs form this series are included.
