What I love about urban abstraction is what I can do with it post shutter click.

New stuff
I developed a roll of Veliva last week. Sorted through the lot and uploaded 4 new images to the top row of the images page.
There were a lot of frames that LOOKED good; great color, interesting shapes etc. Then it came down to, these look nice, but are they true to what I want to say. It's pretty easy to get a great colorful shot of a piece of a mural. It's a lot harder to find an image, which is abstract and attach meaning to it. So out of 30 frames that looked beautiful, only four really spoke to me.
This image is what I love about urban abstraction. It's an archeological summary of urban art. One artist paints his voice, and then many speak over it.
We all want to be heard.

Minimal Abstract
There is something wonderful about minimalism. I found this while walking around my neighborhood. Evidently the owners of the house were considering different colors and the painters had painted several ideas on the front of the house. Life sized swatches.

Early Abstract
This image was probably one of the first I shot that got me interested in urban abtracts. I have forgotten where I found it, perhaps in the Mission on the way to work. At any rate, I feel in love with finding patterns and colors within a larger context. Someone might take a photo of the Mona Lisa in its frame. I'd shoot just the curve of the face with one eye.
