Here’s another Vertorama from Saturday morning’s sunrise photoshoot at Pollock beach in Port Elizabeth.
I’d spotted this small tidal pool behind these rocks late on Friday afternoon… and while I was standing there mentally composing my shot… I noticed that my shadow was pointing directly at the gap between the rocks. If I was lucky… then the sun would pop it’s head above the horizon exactly in the gap… and if I was really lucky… we’d also get a sky full of nice puffy clouds to spice up the sky and to reflect in the pool.
As you can see… we didn’t get any clouds… and the sun wasn’t going to rise where I’d hoped it would!
Oh well… at least I still managed to get a fairly interesting shot. :)

Connetquot River State Park Preserve, Oakdale, New York. The autumnal reflections in the water reminded me of a Jackson Pollock painting.

On one of my recent hikes, this tree caught my eye since it was so uniform and together with the snow and the beautiful light it really stood out to me as a kind of natural abstract. Back at the computer, I did some slight edits to it, where I accidentally rotated it by 180 degrees, and for some reason I really prefer the rotated version. Since this image reminds me of the work of Jackson Pollock with its fractal-like patterns and the rotated branches now look more like roots, I thought that this could have been the roots for Pollock's art :) Hope you like this one!
The employee at the hardware store shot me a side glance when she found me reaching into a trash can with my iPhone to capture this shot. For a few strange moments I might as well have been at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City or any modernist gallery but I was in the paint department of Goody's Hardware in East Haven, Connecticut. That's right, the entire black plastic trash can was empty but lined with splattered paint in mostly red, yellow, ochre and white. It was a remarkable find ala Jackson Pollock, a fine example of accidental modernist art. Voila!
This is a view of one interior side of this trash can.

Well the methodology is different, but the result is similar. We accept abstraction in modern art. Isn't that what these young people are doing?

When the tide is out the pollock holes are a popular place for local's to swim,you will also find children with nets exploring the many pools for fish crabs etc.Kilkee in Co Clare is the starting point of the loop head peninsula, amazing stretch of coastline and a photographer's paradise
Near Kvernufoss I saw this rock where the crustose lichens had run riot with Mother Nature paying tribute to the famous abstract artist Jackson Pollock. Skogar region, Iceland.

I am collecting these scenes where nature creates an abstract expressionist effect, and the trees along the edge of this meadow did it.
I'm doing it because I like the effect. But there's also something humorous about the movement from realism to expressionism to abstract expressionism to not just photorealism but actual photography that then looks like abstract expressionism.
It's safe to presume nature had it all along.
Everything has already been created, and as much as it might at first feel like admitting defeat, artists are subcreators within the larger domain.
Sometimes, at this late stage in human history, it can feel like nothing original remains to be created — like everything original has already been done. But the task isn't to try to rebut this presumption, the task is to, over and over again, reveal how baselessness that assumption is.
Jackson Pollock's paintings were radical departures from traditional techniques and subjects for the medium. If they still resemble the patterns of nature, it seems pointless to insist on more novelty. After a while, the things done as radical departures are themselves the norm. And after that goes on for a little while, the the traditional images become radical.
But even that cycle is beside the point when you pick up your camera. Then, for that time, all that matters is what will you find to meditate on? How will it change you? What can you learn about giving that process to other people?
Good photography isn't communicating like prose, it is, like poetry speaking very dense, fractal, multi-faceted and polyvalent phrases that evoke layers of meaning. By doing this, it invites meditation.
So am I doing good photography? Should we burden ourselves with such a question? Only time will tell. The good will continue to evoke. Some art takes time to come into its own. Only art that survives the vicissitudes of time and continues to reveal a meaningful pattern will survive.
In the meantime, this is what I know for sure, I still have so much to learn, and I never want to stop finding ways to really meditate on what is around me.

Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them! Thanks again!!
I am fascinated by Jackson Pollock’s work. I love them but I think they look like a painter's drop cloth. When I see his work I always think "I could do that." But I wonder whether that's really true. Is there more going on here than seen at first look?
This piece is actually quite large. I photographed it at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. It is called Autumn Rhythm No. 30.
Inspired by WAH theme: paint splash and splatter.
