Composition and Design

I really love to work with rhythm and design.
The simplicity of close up emphasises the graphic element. I rejoice in it.
Rhythmn, pattern, shape, are the music of the world.

All images are links to larger presentations of the image.

. Edge of Dune at Colorado Sand Dunes N.M. To me; the image is the ultimate of oriental thinking.
One brush stoke that defines the universe.

. Raspberry Branch Though thorny, can be gentle;
a play in light and form

. Hole in sandstone. Yes I put the twig there, as a decorative element.

. Reflection Of contemplation. The Double printing on the darkroom makes this image a study in shape, design.

. Man on porch is an accent to a geometry study
I jokingly call this "Whistler's Father"

. Field of wheat stubble, rolling hills,
becomes an abstraction

. Tulips in a field,
but this is really a study of rhythm

. John Day Flowers at John Day Fossil Beds, Oregon; Painted Hills.
Dry country, but one year of every 3-4 there is enough rain
to sprout the flowers. Memorial Day weekend is best.

. Zig - Zag of dunes. Shooting with a telephoto lens compresses.
making this a play in edges.

. Barrel
becomes a study in texture, color, line.

. Red leaves
are the texture, the one yellow the accent.
(yes, I put it there)

. Orchard in Winter The grass between the rows remained green and created an interesting pattern of stripes.

. Rock triangles Abstracting using different tones, simplicity.

. Antelope canyon Rythmn, makes the image
