Graphic Plant Structures

Experiments in black and white graphic lines based on the photographs of plants I have photographed.  Thorny vines twisting and turning like the Wandering Jew plant that bows and reaches for the light.  My graphic lines twist and bend to form abstract shapes.

Glass Abstracts

Recently I chose to photograph two martini glasses emphasizing the lines and circles of these glasses created by a single sidelight.  After looking at the images I decided to illustrate these images as graphical abstracts placing each graphic next to the photographic image representing it.

LANDSCAPES

Landscape photography is not a particular passion of mine-however, I do find myself drawn to the space, lines and man made disturbances within a landscape.  I have chosen to represent some of my landscape images as graphical interpretations of the lines and shapes on a two dimensional white space.  My photography has always been about lines, shapes and the light that defines the form of my images.

Circles within Circles

The circle –is a center point of focus.  It symbolically is infinity, the universe –the all.  Photographers have used the circle as a means of containing subject matter – or a means of focusing the viewer’s attention on a given subject by placing it within or on the edge of a circle.  From my photographs I attempt to graphically build symbolic circles – circles within circles and lines that break this universe.

STAIR GRAPHIC INTERPRETATIONS

I recently shot a number of images in an old abandoned garage of stairwells and the light falling on them creating linear compositions.  I later used these images to create a graphic interpretation of the lines that made up these images that are featured on the recent photo blog “Stairs” on http://theexit270.blogspot.com
