The first was taken in the glorious late-afternoon sunlight streaming across the campus as I hunted for back-lit foliage . . . quite unexpected was the elegant conical structure nestled in a gently arching, spacious canopy. My eye was drawn to the lovely symmetries throughout the composition.
The second photograph is a sample from a nascent series I'm likely to entitle Droppings; in this case an organic splash yielded dramatic radiating spikes combined with an unusually well-defined nucleus. This offering is a rare foray into deliberate alteration of an original canvas on a significant scale; I rendered a blandly chromatic sourcel into this high contrast, high-relief interpretation. The resulting abstract evokes fond memories of my high school biology class . . .
