Naturally Abstract
These pictures were taken directly from life being shot through the camera lens. No digital wizardry used to create the outcome. Hence, “Naturally Abstract” meant it was a clean, one take exposure, for the picture(s). I’m always surprised to find those textures and shadows, objects large and small, or hidden patterns that grab my attention.
A Mosaic of Color
The hanging sculpture, Luftwerk, an art installation by Petra Bachmaier & Sean Gallero, presented grid blocks of colors and shapes in an indoor setting. Mies Van Der Rohe, the architect, made this prefab prototype house to incorporate the interior with the outdoors. This hanging light show reflects the outdoors and changes with both the time of day and camera angle. It was a brilliant riot of color like a patterned mosaic. No tripods respected the museum's rules.
The Eyes Have It!
This photograph was validated by National Geographic Online Magazine to be authentic and won the “Daily Dozen” online award in July 27, 2008. This award is chosen by an editor, then voted on by NGM members to be hard printed in the monthly magazine. Its quirky and surreal appearing to have eyes with tears. A very fragrant peach was split into halves simply by its freshness.
Mies Meets Modern
Captivated by the colors & fractured light of Parallel Perspectives, an art installation by Luftwerk, a Chicago-based collaboration of Petra Bachmaier and Sean Gallero, I aimed to capture the movement of light within & outside of of the hanging sculpture as it interacted within the space of the room. Situated within the McCormick House designed by Mies van der Rohe, the art installation's rainbow rays contrasted with both the room's rigidity and the outdoor companion house structure.
