Leonardo Pisano, better known by his nickname Fibonacci, has lent his name to the numerical and geometric sequence that defines the ever-expanding curve of the nautilus shell, among many other things. This so called “Golden Ratio” seems to be a driving force in my existence upon this mortal coil. / /

An ordinary city building in Melbourne’s CBD is transformed by the reflected glow of a late-autumn sunrise. It’s not a building I would normally shoot, but even a steel-and-concrete office block suddenly (and briefly) takes on a whole new character when the angle of the sun is just right. This was shot in 2008. *I do not crop, enhance or post-edit post-edit my images in any way. This was shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F9.5, 1/750 sec, ISO 200, focal length 300mm. 73-3924
Just a little beach abstract piece I found on one of my walks. I thought it was kind of fun too. :o) Crystal Cove State Beach, Laguna Beach, CA, USA Canon PowerShot SX10IS
I’d never seen anything quite like it before – the corner of two streets, each wall in its own distinct colour. This was shot at Clarke Quay, in Singapore’s historic wharf district, in mid-December 2007. The other great factor that caught my attention was the orientation of the street signs in English and in Mandarin. Look closely and you’ll see how carefully the walls have been painted, with no visible overlap on the corner. Also, observe the area around the signs in Mandarin and you’ll spot a slightly larger rectangle demarcated against the wall, suggesting that the signs were once slightly larger, but not quite the dimensions of the English signs. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F8, 1/350 sec, ISO 200, focal length 125mm. SingaporeA-1582

The premise of this group is to showcase photographers work in the realm of creative interpretation of common items. This can be anything from an ambiguous macro to a conglomeration of lighting and traditional methods of processing making a common item into an uncommon masterpiece.
Remember, traditional processing methods apply…..any excessive digital manipulation will be removed. (if you could do it with film, you can do it here)
The work itself does not necessarily have to be ‘abstract’’; just a very insightful way of looking at something we would see in everyday life. If the work does not fit this criteria, it may be removed with an explanation as to why it was removed.
For the writers – creative works and interpretations are always welcome here as well. Thanks and good luck!!!
