Seeing 2010 (#51)

For you consideration: a pair of abstractions from nature.

The first, taken after a meditation on she shore of a local percolation pond, presents a subtle tension between strata diving towards darker depths and a barely rising form, seeming to hover above the surface.

The second is for me an exceedingly rare foray into actuely accentuated image manipulation: a solarized version of a still life originally photographed indoors under scant lighting.

Each photograph illustrates the principles of the elusiveness of reality and the unreliability of visual evidence . . . there is more to see of what we perceive.
