The image to the right was one of several that started with the photo.below Just some junk behind the fence and then magic.
abstract junk2
May 1st, 2009
All art is abstract whether it is a representative rendition of life in a photo or pushed to the point where it is non representational. It is also true that all abstractions are not art.
If we grant the premise that art is not simply reproducing the visible but making visible it is much easier to define art in such a way that makes room for all of us. I find myself saying at times sorry that does not speak to me at all, I am happy that it speaks to someone else, but for me it is more artless than artfull. On the other hand, there are many things that to me are art that do not meet the arbitrary definition of others. In the end we must each define for ourselves what is art.
Here is another variation on the abstract junk

I would rather be out shooting pictures in the mountains, but that isn’t possible for now.
Finding beauty and something close at hand is the order of the day.
I really love working with digital tools, I can fill up a memory card and play to my hearts content, and all it costs me is a little time. Not everything turns out great or even good, but what great fun it is to play and find treasure, or even junk that can be turned into treasure.

They just don’t look very comfortable.
Some marvelous photos from the LOC available on Flickr.

February 17th, 2009This is the beginning of a show in Proshow Producer. Not sure where it is going yet. Took awhile to get a sequence that gave the appearance of a door opening.

Not much left to say after looking at these sunsets. Whatever one might say wouldn’t do it justice.
backyard clutter4
February 11th, 2009
This was done using mostly the native filters in Photoshop CS4. Just a little manipulation and the familiar junk become a rare and mysterious form.
painted bubbles
February 11th, 2009
This and the others in this latest upload are in part the product of being too long confined to the house.
Given a little help the shapes and forms of the junk piled behind the fence in the backyard becomes a thing of beauty. There is probably a message in that, but for now it is an adventure of discovery.

This guy waited long enough for me to grab the camera, run outside in stocking feet and stayed on the same flowers long enough for me to make several shots at different settings.
The only others I have seen were constantly in motion down on the creek.
Another of natures wondrous works of art.
