Paint


Caboose, Laramie

Paint weathers in surprising ways and, like many photographers, I find myself occasionally getting caught up in the world of micro-patterns.  This is not a unique impulse--a quick look at flickr will reveal many photos of paint abstracts--but it can still be fun sometimes.  And there's no particular need for fantastic light, you don't have to get up at 5 a.m., and once you find a good spot, you don't even have to move very far.  The photos here are a few of my favorite abstracts.

Train paint, Laramie.

Oaxaca, Mexico.  Sometimes the work of street artists becomes abstract.

And one of my favorites--not abstract but with a lot of potential to get that way.
