Description

Cars parked on the street are whole collections of abstract art waiting to be found. Sometimes I'm struck by the way the chrome curves or the shape of something. Creating the abstract image requires looking at the elements I want to include, choosing a point of view, and framing the image. Sometimes the result looks like what it is-- part of a car. And sometimes it doesn't. As long as the image is visually satisfying, I'm happy to go either way.

Per Wikipedia: Abstract photography, sometimes called non-objective, experimental, conceptual or concrete photography, is a means of depicting a visual image that does not have an immediate association with the object world and that has been created through the use of photographic equipment, processes or materials. An abstract photograph may isolate a fragment of a natural scene in order to remove its inherent context from the viewer, it may be purposely staged to create a seemingly unreal appearance from real objects, or it may involve the use of color, light, shadow, texture, shape and/or form to convey a feeling, sensation or impression. The image may be produced using traditional photographic equipment like a camera, darkroom or computer, or it may be created without using a camera by directly manipulating film, paper or other photographic media, including digital presentations.
