Abstract Expressionism … at a Crossroads

While traveling south on a photo adventure last week my friend and I stopped to photograph some rather unique abandoned buildings. Situated at a busy crossroads in a rural setting, they more than stood out with their bold, abstract expressionistic designs. Odd and fascinating they provided a fun subject as I set out to photograph the artwork in such a way to repurpose it, and make it my own.

My passion for photography has rewarded me with the opportunity to examine the world carefully. My approach is intuitive and I choose to impose no constraints – leaving myself open only to possibilities. As a professional designer I am drawn to images that offer a strong composition, pattern and rhythm. Creating images with a unique perspective while sometimes pushing the limits of traditional composition 'rules' excites me. Landscapes, nature subjects and things from the past are common themes in my work.

  1. Well that sure is one painted place… nice to see how you chose to ‘tame’ all those lines and colors. Tunnel view and last doorway comp are my favs.

  5. More than once I’ve heard you talk about making other people’s art your own when you photograph it. You did that wonderfully here with your compositions. Tastefully placed doors, windows and your cropping of the buildings is great.

  6. A great subject and you have worked wonders with it. The Yellow Door is superb. The eye roves around and through the image with so much to discover.
