Tulip Abstract (I), 3.15.16
Refreshing Play
I’ve been in a photography slump recently. Mostly I’ve just been unable to shoot much, but when I have been out and about I’ve not been really seeing and so have wandered around without a camera some of the time.Sometimes a bit of a break is good.
But sometimes I have to force myself to pull that camera out!
Dan said he gave me permission to make bad photos yesterday, when we were on a little trip. (No, not because he has to give me permission to do things, I promise!) Funny, but I recently read an article by Charlotte Gibb that said much the same thing! “I hereby grant you permission to make terrible photographs.” … thanks, Charlotte! Thanks Dan!
So I just finished a bit of play. I decided to just SHOOT, whatever it was I saw in front of me at first. That was, I fear, a bit of a terrible photograph! But it is what it is …
But it was a start.
Then I pulled some objects from another room. And I shot. And shot. And I just might like some of what I got.
But that isn’t truly the point of this post and my recommendation. The point is that I would encourage others to play around. Experiment. Goof off a bit with light and random objects. Who knows what you might come up with!
Here are some of of today’s results:

A Little Abstract
Abstract Water (I), 9.9.19
And Another!
This rainy day has me getting a bit more done on cards than usual. I’ve now assembled a box of Abstract Flora. Most are still recognizable as flora … which makes me think maybe I should have called the box Almost Abstract.
Hm. Might have to rethink the name, right?
Green
It is a beautifully rainy day here: we need as much of the wet stuff as we can get, so it’s great for that reason, but I just love rain, so there’s that, too! Soon our golden hills will be showing more of what I call “new green”, but for now have this taro leaf with sun shining through. I shared this with my photo critique group and it seemed to get their seal of approval. I’m pondering … perhaps a card set of green? Or maybe of abstracts?
Or both.
Time will tell.
