Yet another striking image. As I pause, observe, and take in the image, my mind goes out of control. This time I saw not only the divisions, the lines, the details…..but a face. Of course, there is no need to see anything so particular is such an image, and to enjoy it as it is.
Thanks. I see faces too. Animals
Mundane views can offer so beautiful photographs – when the right photographer comes along.
Thanks. Parking lots aren’t my haunt of choice, but…
I really like these abstract images you’ve been making. For me, they recall the paintings of the abstract expressionists, but of course they are photographs of actual things. So, I’m finding a little (perhaps unintentional) irony here. Excellent work!
Thanks for this comment. The irony for me is that something as visually interesting as this can turn up in a parking lot. And you’re right; “abstract photographs” are still photographs of actual things. Harrie Nijland had some interesting things to say about this at an earlier post: https://johntodaro.wordpress.com/2023/08/04/marblevision/
Great comment section again and what a departure this photo seems to be. It looks to me like it was processed to almost reverse some of the values – like black to white or white to black – rather than to make a “faithful” document. Or like the mid-tones were dropped out, leaving just the extremes. It’s really striking and it’s pretty, too! 🙂
Parking lots can have really good stuff! 😉
There’s actually no processing journeys here. That’s the pavement as I saw it. It was raining when I shot these and maybe that affected values.

Time for an art exhibition….
Thanks. Shooting it does have its own reward

Interesting! The rain makes sense.
