Abstracts
As a child, I enjoyed spotting people, animals and objects in cloud formations. It was a creative pursuit with no wrong answers. Interpreting abstracts is similar only there are more colors, shapes and textures to look at.
For me, lively colors, high-contrast (e.g., extreme black and white) and bold graphic shapes are exciting. A profusion of embellishments and textures make me curious. Gradients, neutral colors and pastels soothe me.

Many of my images illustrate Bible verses. "Mortals, born of woman, are of few days and full of trouble. They spring up like flowers and wither away; like fleeting shadows, they do not endure."
- Job 14:1-2 (NIV)
Rim lighting is rather common in photography. The rare rim shadow on this human cutout is ephemeral and requires discernment, like the detection of a short-lived or secret life.
