Abstract Pavement With Shadows and Leaves

In other words: an accidental shot that ended up looking fairly artistic!

I like abstractness when combined with nature.; October 20, 2009 at 6:26 AM

Oleg K. said...: Inspires a little poem:

Taking pictures
of the shadows --
Emo teenager.

:O)

In other news, sometimes I want to jump into that white space between the shadows.; October 20, 2009 at 7:16 AM

Yakpate said...: Like Oleg K, I, too, feel attracted to that white space between the shadows.

Reminds me of one of LA's poems:

Poetry
is
the
space
between
words.; October 20, 2009 at 11:12 AM

Judy: You really out-did yourself with your poems on my blog this week!!!; October 20, 2009 at 3:05 PM
Mister Earl said...: Looks like it comes from a movie filmed in England. Cold, lonely, complex, and foreboding. Blow-Up perhaps?; October 20, 2009 at 4:50 PM

Thanks for the nice words and cool reactions. (Oleg, your poem!) This blog is so much fun to produce. I can slack off and post mistakes and I still have some of the best commenters online! :-)

I do love the concept of lomography -- as I've mentioned several times before -- but this was pure and simple an oops. Reminds me of a website Elaine over at the old Willits Daily Photo mentioned once. It's dedicated to the shots you would normally erase, submitted by photographers all over the world. Some of them were amazing. If anyone knows/remembers the link, post it here!

In the meanwhile, I'll see you guys on tomorrow's post...; October 21, 2009 at 12:04 AM
