Abstract Self Portrait

Material Abstract - 230/365

An abstract image where I twisted the camera to make the subject a little more mysterious and interesting.

Another Fun Abstract - 213/365

This is where this type of a project really starts to make you exercise your creative mind. What am I going to do today. So driving down the road, well stopped at at stoplight, I set mt shutter speed for a very long exposure and drove while holding the camera and twisting it. Several images were made and this was the one that I liked. Simple. Just think!

Another abstract that I made. Am experimenting with some of these after hearing creative photographer David DuChemin expound on expanding your creativity by experimenting. Jiggling Night Lights - My 365 Project 119/365

This is a Venture into the Abstract

I listen to a lot of photography podcasts, read a lot of photography books, and also see the work of many photographers. I was listening to a photographer on a podcast about discovering and working with more abstract images as a way of self-expression. Abstract usually translates into, you either love it or hate it. There's usually no in-between. The image above started out as an abstract image that was a mistake. Literally my shutter went off as my camera was moving after making an image. I saw the result and decided to put some work into it in several image programs. The result is what you see. Like I said, you probably love it or hate it. Enjoy either way.
