abstract.

[Merg Ross]

Depending on the definition, much of my work falls into this category. I also agree with the selection of Aaron Siskind and Brett Weston as being representative of abstract b&w photography.

I thought of this topic immediately this past weekend - we had a photography expo, and some local photographers showed and sold their work. One woman whose name I now forget had some fascinating stuff - colour photos of various flowers shot *through* a variety of solid pieces of stained glass (which she also made). Some of them were obviously flowers, but with odd colourations, and some ended up just seemingly random, well, abstractions of something.

Very interesting work, although I don't think it sold well from the look of her booth.

Abstract photography was almost "mainstream" in much of Europe at one time - have a look at Frantisek Drtikol.

To resurrect this topic...

I am the proud owner of Brett's Bank of America 1975 and his Abstraction 1954. I continue to seek out the "extraordinary in the ordinary".

I made this image this summer at the local library...



Abstract photography is everywhere... you just have to see it.
