this just seems halfway between a serious art shot and a poser art shot. That's why i love it.

Lately been on a lovely visual journey into the multitudinal reflections of my downtown, Asheville. I've seen things in things, areas of thinglessness and bristling thingitude. I even saw myself in all this world, and loved it.

for some reason this reflection fascinates me. The (near) covering of something with something when neither seem important to the picture just amplifies the need to be seen. Or something? Or maybe because nothing really fits in the box? Or not? Or yes?

When color is all over the place, i wonder about the nature of randomness - did the person in trying to cover things up knowingly make art simply by adhering to some inner esthetic?

Urban decay seems to me to be that near-perfect balance of man and nature, of false-order on top of false-chaos. So, too, can construction sites that are very similar, but moving in the direction of more false-order rather than away from it.

Does it do more 'harm' than 'good' to give abstract photographs a title saying what it is a photograph of? I fear that reality-titles stops the viewer process of the photo as what it is becoming in the mind and switches to the list of what "it is a photograph of."

Boop!
