The Abstract

For a couple of years now I've been contemplating this series.

A couple of nights ago I finally got around to doing some test shots.


These were taken with a 50mm lens on my digi (thereby becoming about 75mm). If it gets that far the final works will be shot on film and probably wider.

Opinions willingly sought.

I quite like them: jellyfish, vaseline, computer keyboard keys, the frosted glass door of the Principal's office...

thanks anon, that's exactly what i was going for - in particular the jellyfish vaseline thing.

maybe they're not abstract enough.

The house i spent the first ummm 11? 12? 13? years of my life had various textured glass doors and windows that would throw up similar but more vertically elongated shapes. I don't recall ever being scared by them but I certainly remember that I used to call them "ghosts" long before I figured out what was actually causing the phenomenon. Thanks for inspiring the nostalgia.
