West Kansas Lean
#fineartphotography #blackandwhite #Kansas #rural
Black and white image of an old barn leaning to the left amidst a field of stubble. A black and white image of cylindrical silos on top of a square concrete base with a small hopper leaning in front. Black and white image of the inside of an abandoned store. A mattress is in the foreground with two old televisions at the end both with bullet holes through their screens. Two longhorns standing by a singular tree in a corner of their pasture.

The Invocation of Sorrow
#fineartphotography #organic #sorrow #blackandwhite #composition #textural

A warm black and white image of a patch of dead grass next to living grass. It is a strong vertical composition with interesting abstract shapes. Someone who enjoys pareidolia would be fascinated.

The Temptations of Virtue
#fineartphotography #still_life #blackandwhite #daturas #composition

Questions of Balance
#fineartphotography #blackandwhite #compositional #grass #balance
Whirls and swirls of dead grass with new growth here and there. A group of plants that curlicued in their desire for growth sits in the middle upper third, sparse new long leaves of grass are in the bottom third standing in stark relief to killed grass. A warm black and white image of dead grass revealed by the removal of a wading pool. There is a triangular dark area of plants that grew along the edge.

Where the Wading Pool Lived

An abstracted image of dead grass under where a pool had been. Little curlicues of nascent life amidst the dead grass, subtle pastels of light gold and blue-white with a touch of roseate pink here and there.

The Waters of Early Light
#fineartphotography #blackandwhite #floral #daturas #botanical #earlymorningrain
A black and white image of two Datura blossoms, the one on top in full bloom, the one on the bottom is wilted like a discarded petticoat. The blooms are surrounded by large dark leaves, a tiny grasshopper attending the day on a leaf to the left of the wilted one. Another tiny insect clings to the lower right edge of the full upper bloom, suckling to be granted more life.

#fineartphotography #foundstilllife #window #abandoned #heat #passions
This is an old abandoned barber shop still playing with its passions. A corner of a window fogged and dripping on the inside with two twisted aloe vera plants on the right portion. One is above, dead and gangly, orange and bewitching over a living green plant of the same species. The window casement is weathered, most of the paint gone except for a few red remnants.
