CHANNELING

"Channeling" is brand new and the result of something I'm enjoying doing more and more: heavy computer manipulation. About the only thing left here of the original pic is the shapes and lines. It's rare that I actually take a photo with "malice of forethought" aimed at producing an abstract and/or oddly colored pic. I usually move into tighter and tighter cropping and color experimentation only when my original literal vision for the picture is not manifesting in any way. Once in a great while I'll see something on a photo walk that cries out to me for an abstract treatment. But this is rare.

In this instance, I did get the initial literal shot I was hoping for, but it was just not interesting. However, I was still drawn to the curves and lines. Just as as when I was a kid and I'd see something (e.g., a plant, a bird, a fish, a boat) whose lines and shapes made my fingers itch to try to draw it.
