Bricks and Stones

Even with what seem to be more "familiar" subjects, my interest remains more about the abstract play of the shapes, lines, colors and textures of what's being photographed.

I think it's the "accidental"--the things that you didn't see, or perhaps didn't consciously see, that you then discover in you work--that differentiates photography from other art forms.  

For example, the fact that the white tower in the "Behind the Phillips" image above turns out to be topped by a skylight--which can be viewed through the rectangular window in front--is something I didn't see until I got back the proof enlargement.
