abstraction (otp158)

OTP 158 had an assignment abstraction. Its been hanging over my head for the past couple months as I’ve been taking different abstracts as I pass through the world, but I finally decided to go ahead and upload them. I might keep doing it…or maybe not…but it was time I shipped.

This is what I uploaded to the OTP group. The swatches came out really well and was just a strong graphical item.

However I did a whole bunch of other photos I want to upload so here you go:

Window Blinds really create some nice effects.

Like the shadows, I found that some of the photos were much more interesting with just a little insertion of people into the picture. Of course my dughter always wins for me, but so do strangers.

While at Jack in the Box, I also came across a really interesting situation at the dining counter. I tried several views but I am quite partial to this one with a perspective…but cut dead horizontal.

Close ups of the glass espresso cup at the coffee shop up the street also worked nicely.

And while looking at closeups, here is one of something that is so familiar that I can barely think of something more banal…my car seat cover.

Interesting assignment all in all…but I’m happy its out the door now.
