I will be off for a few days on spring brake. I hope I find some new subjects to do photos of. I hope you will enjoy this set of flowers tell I get back. Tell then I have some free time on my hands. Do the black background and the square will go away.

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.

US President Barack Obama speaks about immigration reform during a meeting with young immigrants, known as DREAMers, in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, February 4, 2015. The group has received Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which provides relief from deportation for immigrants who arrived in the US illegally before they were 16 years old.

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.

My photographic interpretation of the recent minimalist work by the new generation of Black painters that are pushing the boundaries of abstract art. This particular photograph is a combined and layered homage to Rashid Johnson’s “Cosmic Slop ‘Black Orpheus’” (2011) and to Mark Bradford’s “Q3” (2020) from his “Quarantine Paintings” that utilizes agitated-looking layers of sanded paint and paper to represent a topographical map of isolation.
This photo was taken from a section of the front of a shut-down local shop, a casualty of the pandemic. The storefront was used by street artists who added layers upon layers of colorful posters and stickers during the pandemic to eventually all be painted over by a shroud of black paint. Glimpses of those colorful mosaics can still be seen just a layer under the black paint.
