These are really and extremely cool. Kind of mind-bending but also beautiful and fascinating.

Thanks Steven. I am trying to draw attention to how interesting the world is if we pause for a moment to actually look at it.

this is an excellent series. must say i don't think i've seen anything like it before--certainly not around here.

i love your response above this as well.

Thanks Xgray. It's a pervasive theme in my work. Most people don't see or want to look at the big box stores, gas stations and fast food restaurants that I have photographed either but, if one really looks, there is occasionally beauty to be found.

DUDE. We need to get you a life, buddy.

Alone in the dark, just some chalk and a camera. I think there are "twelve-step" groups for this kind of thing.

I LIKE IT!

But - Mark makes a very good point. I would also like to add if you are going to be alone in the dark with a camera, I hope you have good health insurance.

i really agree with you, if only we stop to look at the world, maybe you can find beauty in ugly things, or in everyday stuff, just like you do
