This immediate - no worries style photography with the iphone is liberating in many ways. I've thinking a lot about what work done with a phone camera can mean. How will it work to be serious with it. I've really begun thinking of it as a note taking exercise---a sketchbook and I've always found sketchbook work to be some of my most important work---not for a finished product, but as an observation and examination into an idea. So I keep seeing these abstract shapes and lights and patterns and am compelled to snap a quick shot for my 'sketch-book'. If nothing else its a pretty good exercise in composition and balance--and that is always good to hone and practice. Here a some abstractions that caught my eye today. Photographs by Richard Sayer. PS Thank you Deb Barnhart for the painted bubblewrap today!!! Very nice of her to bring that by for me after I comment how much I loved one of he photographs from the Creative Expressions of Art Facebook page. Her photograph of the painted bubblewrap is much better than mine below!
