Mixed Media and Category Abstracts

BELOW: Light Macros and Abstract Photo Art

Toys car, apparently with some personality, are wishing to get to Florida to race at Daytona! They are sitting atop a map of the state of Florida. It’s good therapy to use imagination and entertainment in photographic efforts. Abstracts generously supply both ambitions.

The next two photographs demonstrate Abstract Drawings.

Abstract Drawings

The first drawing photographed is of a loose free-hand lighthouse image, using markers, ink pens, and colored pencils, while the second one is of a more precise abstract with curves and straight lines accomplished by using rulers and other tools.

BELOW: A photograph of a drawing with acrylic paint. The drawing’s inspiration came from a photograph of patio chimes taken late at night. So a photograph became a drawing and became a photograph again. That’s definitely abstract-ish thinking!

BELOW: Abstract Patterns

Patterns are everywhere! They are fun to photograph in the abstract using a little invention, or taking them as they are already formed. The pattern ABOVE is contrived with the person’s legs placed between both sides of an iron bench and its shadows.

BELOW: A Rubix Cube up close, which also categorizes it as a Light Macro

Take some hours away from serious work to have fun with your photography!

Since I first touched a pencil to paper, I've been writing. Where that passion has taken me as I lived life is explored in my Primary blog, http://www.mywritinglifexposed.wordpress.com . I love animals, including race horses, about whom I have written much, and I've always had a dog in my life. Shouldn't animals have their say? In my Second Primary blog, http://www.horsesandanimalsaretalkin.wordpress.com , I give them a chance to speak. In the Composite blog http://www.nearthefinishline.wordpress.com , I explore my life's journey and observations. Other interests -- poetry, sports, photography, thankfulness, story ideas, self-publishing, story art, fiction, and more -- get their due in my other (17) blogs. I'm from a rural community in Ohio, lived nine years in Vermont, then returned to my native Henry County in 1980. I've worked for various local newspapers and attended classes in writing over the years before retiring to free-lancing in 2008. It was after my migration back to Ohio that I began BAT Publishing in earnest. It is strictly a self-publishing enterprise in that I publish my own works -- novels, novelettes, short stories with my Roughcraft Art -- in my own softcover, or loose-leaf notebook, designs. My photos and artwork are also incorporated in the books. Prior to this endeavor, I produced a periodic story booklet for young writers only entitled "Connections". Its success sparked my interest in self-publishing my own titles.
