"Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes...
Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible,
to extract the infinite out of the finite.
It is the emancipation of the mind.
It is an exploration into unknown areas."
Arshile Gorky
Sometimes...it's just plain fun to play with your photos...
Out of focus? Play with the angle...
...and the color...and the grain...
and voila!
Patterns, repetition, muted colors...
...then...
...explorations in Black and White.
A crop here...a crop there...a bit of grain.
Lots of crop...lots of grain...and push that color!!!
Find that right angle...pop the color...
...remove the white spot or leave it in?
Explore the angles and curves...more color please!
Another angle...more curves...and OH! That color!!!
Our road trip began in Atlanta, Georgia,
at the Marriott Marquis hotel, downtown.
Last June, we were in Atlanta for the 2017 Rotary International Convention. And being good Rotarians...we went to the bar where all the action was. Lots of fun people...good drinks...
and an interesting atmosphere...very modern and fun lighting.
Looking up...my mind started seeing my surroundings
in photographic terms.
Yep...had to go get my camera.
Two or three excursions with the camera and a bunch of fun hours post processing...and these were my results!
I thought it might be fun to share a bit of my process...
...one of my most fun photo projects of late!!!
