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

Wired Shapes

The simplicity of lines and shapes -their interaction -the effect of opposing lines and intersecting shapes.  My observation in photography and graphical interpretation of these photographic images.          

It is my exploratory process of opposing lines and intersecting shapes that is the subject of this post.

The Arrow

The arrow – a symbol that has different meanings in different cultures from hunting to war and love – but to most of us it designates the up and down lanes in our local parking lots – some of my arrow photographs and graphics inspired by them.
