Oftentimes, life seems random–like there’s no there there. And sometimes I get a wild hair to say that, and visualize it in an abstract way.

Images taken of my living space.
Ethereal fall
Because of Hwy 101 construction the traffic has become unpredictable, so I’m tending not make regular stops to take photos during my commute. But, there’s always an abstract to be had around the homestead.
Lens: Canon EF 70-300mm at 300mm. 1/60 second at f/5.6, ISO 400.

Marigolds in November
Every year at the beginning of November our Mexican Bush Marigold blooms. The plant is quite large and right now is covered with hundreds of flowers. I shot this isolated cluster this afternoon while experimenting with very shallow depth of field.
Lens: Canon 85mm f/1.8. 1/400 second at f/2.0, ISO 200.

Rainy day abstraction
It’s a rainy day here in the Bay Area, so for photo fun I went to the patio and worked up an Orton “movement effect” image. It took a few shots to get a look I liked, but this one is a keeper.
Lens: Canon EF 70-300mm IS USM at 70mm. 1.3 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 200.

Hipstamatic in the yard
Taking photos is an addiction. Here’s a sun blasted Poplar tree. Don’t have a DSLR or a nice point and shoot, use your iPhone–with the Hipstamatic app… COOL!
