Barbara Kasten, Abstract Photography

I love this photograph because of Kasten's use of color. The monochromatic color scheme with the white/blue tints in the glass itself is wonderfully used. The way the glass panels are lit to create the large and strong shadows behind the subject adds depth and a more abstract essence to the photo. I like the composition, the repeating lines and angles are strong and make it a bit realistic. I feel as though a touch of realism in an abstract scene is what makes people love abstract paintings and photos. It gives order to the abstract. I feel inspired to use light in a similar way and try to use a simple color scheme in my digital photos.

Photos of the Week - Culture

Culture is represented in the stadium itself and in the technology advertisements shown in these photos. The repetition of lines and color adds interest to the composition of the photo and not only the design of the stadium.

Photos of the Week - Water

Water is purifying.

The constant state of flux

bending and twisting;

creating forms that last for

a millisecond
