Sublime Abstract

My goal with this image was to create a soft, sublime, atmospheric abstract out of something from inside our apartment.  I wanted a hint of contour – almost like a foggy landscape with the morning sun peaking over a hill.

What is it, you ask?  Well, first I’ll say that the image is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, was shot in the living room, and it was a (rare for this time of year) bright and sunny day outside.   It was taken hand-held with my nifty 50mm lens set at f/1.8 for a very narrow depth of field and maximum blur.  Have you figured it out yet?

I’ll let you keep guessing for a while.  I’m sure someone will know what it is.

Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros - it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo. In the end, it is all about telling compelling stories.
