When I create a photograph, I’m usually just looking at the things I can see at the moment: light, shadow, lines, shapes, contrast, texture and eyes. But sometimes I look at the photograph later and see a fun abstraction of the surrounding environment that I find pleasing. I can add a “painterly” feel to the image using the computer and some time and effort that just works in some cases. Of course, it’s only pleasing to some people, so I make it an option on some of my work. I’ll post more like it from time to time. Let me know what you think!
