Relative Something

Here are a few images captured in Minneapolis on the day of our bike ride this past weekend. These are the kinds of things I see within the bigger scenes that make up the view.

Am I sentimental about our wallpaper? I didn’t think so, but now, having none to look at, I’ve become aware of how often it held my gaze. I did capture a few pictures before it was all gone… Something moved me to save this one as black and white.

I decided to make some art out of that pile of hardware I pulled out of the walls last weekend. Things I like about this image include the strange variety of screws, nails and hangers; the depth of field that was captured; and the star burst reflection of sunlight that appeared on the edge of that one device. All happenstance, drawn from a moment of snap-shots in the middle of chores. The spontaneous and random actions sometimes produce rewarding results. I find I enjoy them more than times when I intentionally aim to achieve a certain result.
