Ambit With Lines And Squares
These are digital photo composites. They were not planned or staged. Subject matter was found at various times and locations-- in this case, the figure and background were created by combining several whole photos, and geometric shapes added. When the shapes are added, the image becomes a collage.
My focus is exploration and my goal is to create images I have not seen before.
There is always the surprise of discovery, the search for something unique, and the irony of making photos that may not eventually resemble photographs.
Shooting digital-- especially digital photo composites.

entry description
These are a few of the images from the Ambit Series-- an abstract figure in an abstract space, seen through various geometric-related inverted shapes. The color palette is restricted until the final image, when minimal color accents the figure as it seems to vaporize and drift apart.These are digital photo composites. They were not planned or staged.
