Seeing 2010 (#152)

For your consideration: performance without a net, on the streets of Tucson (Grant Road, to be exact) . . . a variation of the nascent Droppings series.

Oddly enough, this high contrast scene caught my eye just after I'd dropped off my broken eyeglasses at a shop for repair.

A rather long, stark white, swirling and twisting stream of paint lay on relatively fresh asphalt in blazing noontime sun; I photographed several segments and composed various compositions -- this tableau reminds me of a minimalist take on Matisse's la Danse.
