The Barrier

"I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall... ...It rises now before me, A dark and silent barrier between, All I am, and all that I would ever want to be" --from "The Wall" by Kerry Livgren and Steve Walsh The sky, a window, and a wall. Taken on the roof of the historic Marshall Building on a warm summer evening in Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Third Ward. Copyright 2018 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com

Passions Collide – Abstract 5

This abstract photography based digital artwork, combines two of my artistic passions - 3D animation and photography. The base color scheme is from a photograph of an old worn out table that had several coats of mismatched paint on it in addition to several glued-on pieces of newsprint and other paper. The color information from that image was used to drive the size, color, and 3D spatial location of each rectangular object. The resulting 3D rendered image was then finished in Photoshop with many color tweaks, contrast adjustments and some other "magical" things. The image is best viewed on a large desktop monitor and is intended to be printed very large. Copyright 2017 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com

Flux Number 1

“Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state.” –John Locke

Contemplating Impermanence

“By contemplating the impermanence of everything in the world, we are forced to recognize that every time we do something could be the last time we do it, and this recognition can invest the things we do with a significance and intensity that would otherwise be absent. We will no longer sleepwalk through our life.”… Continue reading Contemplating Impermanence

Peeling Back the Layers

“I wondered to what extent people remained the same as they’d been when very young; if one peeled back the layers of living one would come to know the child.” –Dick Francis

Don’t Follow the Crowd

Don't follow the crowd. Be different. Follow your own path. Think outside of the box. Be the black sheep. The list of cliches goes on and on and on. While the phrases are overused, the sentiment is true. Because if you want to stand out from everyone else, you've got to do something or be something a little unique. So for today I wanted to create some sort of minimalist abstract representation of that. Day 323 of my 365 photo a day project. Copyright 2016 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com

Black Leaves

I don’t have much to say about this image other than I love the texture on the leaves. As I’ve said before, any type of leaf fascinates me.
