I love 
abstract images of things that may or may not make any sense in the finished photograph. In an abstract photograph you either get it, like it, connect to it, or you don’t care for it. All of the above are valid and none are incorrect. There are things that are 100% visual. They cannot be analyzed and categorized with words. They are a mystery, and remain a visual only statement. Trying to explain any artistic statement is futile, since the feeling is lost in the translation. It is like having to explain a joke. I love making abstract images. I make quite a number of them, yet show very few. It is something that the viewer either gets or they don’t.
Since there is no way to explain an abstract, other than the When, Where & How, here is what I can say. This was from a trip to Zion National Park in 2009. The image was made along the lower portion of Clear Creek. It was a sunny day, 28 degrees F. . . perfect working conditions. I know I had seen this formation before, probably from being in that same area the previous year. There are things that tend to only register in the subconscious. I find that it may take several trips to an area to fully explore its potential. That is why we keep going back over and over. There is little else I can explain other than the pertinent data below. Enjoy!
