Day 178 – Abstraction

I’m an idealist. I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m on my way. – Carl Sandburg

What’s so fascinating about the creative process is never knowing where you’re headed or what the final destination will be … just all of a sudden the muse has taken over and you’re along for the ride. I love it!

Today’s mystery “what is it?!?” picture is quite abstract. Considering that I could not figure out what I wanted to photograph today, I’m pleased I ended up with anything. Muse has gone out and deserted me.

What Was That?!? Yesterday’s Picture (Day 177)

Yesterday’s picture generated some funny perspectives again. For example, the first guess: “I think I saw that in the back of my fridge. I coulda sworn I threw it out.” Rest assured, it’s not a science experiment! Is it the sole of a shoe? Not the sole of a shoe. A foam roller? Not that either. “Is it a zoomed in chunk of the rusted green roof from yesterday?” Ha ha, not it’s not a zoomed in chunk of that rusted roof! Is it a sugar cookie? Not a sugar cookie.

So what was it? What you saw was a different perspective of a subject I posted a few days ago. Remember that decorative hanging strand of glass circles? (Day 174) This was a different-colored circle, a blue one. I thought it was interesting the entirely different pattern, one you wouldn’t see without zooming in.

  1. Almost looks like a dental impression.
    And about that creative process: that is so exciting about street photography. You never know what and who you’re going to see and meet. And when you see something “shoot worthy” you have to make a very quick and (hopefully) creative decission on how to shoot it.

    1. Interesting! (No, not a dental impression.) I understand what you mean about the street photography, how exciting! I have enjoyed seeing your street shots, and I love the black-and-white perspective. So your creative process is indeed working. 🙂
