I found this house by accident. It's a blatant pastiche of Antoni Gaudi architecture & at that time in an amazing beach location. By now it’s probably surrounded by new development. Scanned from an Ektachrome slide, Olympus OM.

Twist and Turn
The photograph evokes drama as it celebrates light and line and shape and pattern - even a bit of motion. Light gifted the choice of framing. I left out color and spatial relationships to help hold it in the abstract form.

Alms bowls offered by humble hands form a strength with repetition, bowl after bowl and hand after hand. A vintage film filter adds to the story mimicking the ages that this tradition has unfolded. There is simplicity in color. Folds of fabric carry my eye in different directions to soak in the image.

Walk the Line
Geometry dominates. Rectangles collect colors to help define their existence. Pathways emerge. Light dances from human creations. Perspective is provided - just a bit by people passing through. ICM camouflages and lets imagination fill where altered reality hides specifics.

Multiple exposure plays a bit with reality and asks the eye to look closely to see what's happening. Bits and pieces make a whole. Nice drama with diagonal angles while strong vertical anchors hold things firm. Panels of muted color keep things simple. Altered reality creates interest.

Millions of bats streaming across a sunlit sky are breathtaking to watch - and capture. The silhouetted palm is a perfect anchor against the moving tableau and the vastness of the universe. The mix of warm and cool, along with the implied diagonals, add energy to the scene. Colors define shapes that fit like puzzle pieces. Spatial relationships are clear.

Wondrous light streams into the dark temple highlighting him just so. Rich details emerge with light revealing just what's needed to tell the story. The muted color palatte adds warmth in monochrome tones which enhance the lines and shapes that make up the photograph. Negative space in the dark hue pushes him forward in the frame giving him the visual prominence he deserves.

Puddle Pedal
A parked bike shows off its silhouetted echo in rain soaked concrete. Circles duplicate and a bold vertical line anchors. Blue and gold hued concrete serves as negative space. Lines scramble a bit adding visual pathways and interest.

The night is on fire with brilliant sun magnified by water reflecting the glory of the sky. A lone boatman draws my eye - his solitude in this world captures full attention.

Making Time to Play
Inside the Broad Museum, art plays with light and reflection to create its own shapes and delight, that catch my eye. Framed within a frame, the selfie is born. Wonderful, curved spaces repeat over and over forming patterns that morph across surfaces changing contour and size. Brilliant warm colors add to the sense of play. Diagonal cants add drama and fun - it's a bit of a party - a celebration of art and appreciation - something happening.

Ambient Warmth
Simple, but strong colors, draw my eye. Light is brilliant, highlighting around motion - increasing its power. Whimsical shapes morph with ICM (intentional camera movement) and create a bit of curiosity. There is ambient warmth but details that would help define time and place are absent. Abstract and inviting.

A Wink
Caught in a window - a collection of elements that only reflection can provide in its altered reality. Lines and shapes and textures mix with a bit of mystery. It's an original recipe. A sight that won't come along again. In the blink (or wink) of an eye - it's gone.

Recently harvested fields add lines and textures. Gentle hues contrast. Bicycles await. Double exposure enhances the fun.

Framed
Reflections in tinted glass and avant garde architecture join forces to make a surreal frame for the potato man. (Inside joke.) Wondrous colors and fun shapes create patterns that delight my eye. Repetition builds strength and textures add substance. Perspective exaggerates a bit. Sharp focus keeps everything viable and it's a shot that becomes eye candy to explore.

She inhabits a colorful world and this impressionistic take marries her lovely smile with colors and textures to tell her story. There is a feel of motion - the splatters and lines - a look of warm light - that compliment her beautiful smile. She was energetic and serene and that's what I tried to convey.

She walked into my viewfinder unexpectedly. Perspective rules here giving an interesting angle to the main subject and setting her against a dramatic sky and roofline. The bold backdrop shapes anchor the shot and provide a vivid contrast that pushes the subject visually forward in the frame. There is a dynamic feel of motion - of things to do and places to go - even though the frame is frozen in a split second of time.

Just Above Ceiling Height
Looking barely down on a ceiling holding lamps in suspension is a perspective that gives a different view. Closing time leaves mostly darkness but they hadn't turned out these lights. The array forms a pattern that joins a ceiling sporting patterns of its own. Splashes of light illuminate just enough to show off details. Spots of other colors offer punctuation - a bit of added interest.
It's a diptych in appearance, even though it's been done in a single frame - either side could stand alone.

Time Keeps on Slipping
A bridge railing giving way to harsh weather loses its paint to the elements. Brilliant sun casts a diagonal shadow to give more drama to the strong colors. An hourglass of sorts - at least to my eye. I love finding little treasures in unexpected places and capturing them.

They live on the waters and it permeates their way of life. Reflections emphasize stark details and the duality of their world. Sepia was chosen to give time to the shot - this way of life has been happening for centuries. It feels suspended in time.

The textures of their lives - the traditions that have been practiced for centuries - are reflected in the rich folds of fabric that identify them. Emphasis on the robe creates an immediate impact. They seem one with their enviornment whether they are solo or walking in small groups that morph into shapes. The implied diagonal line in this shot makes for easy passage for my eye to travel and inspect the elements. The color contrast helps isolate the subjects.
