I may seem to be passionately concerned with the 'hows' of representation, how you actually represent rather than 'what' or 'why'. But to me this is inevitable. The 'how' has a great effect on what we see. To say that 'what we see' is more important than 'how we see it' is to think that 'how' has been settled and fixed. When you realize this is not the case, you realize that 'how' often affects 'what' we see.

I love David Hockney. I like your abstracts. This one reminds me of Franz Kline, or Minor White.
Thought provoking quote and a great one to go with that photo.
Great quote and it totally sums up wht I felt today shooting pictures. It's funny how you can see something from above every day and barely notice it. then you get down low, under it, get the light behind it and suddenly, a holy glow takes over. I felt that every time I shot shooting daffodil stems. Miraculous how the "how" changed what I saw.
