Sharp Lazy Loops
I’m proud to report that this image is used as the cover-image for the 7-inch vinyl ‘Scars’ record by the Canadian punk/hardcore band called Damages
.
This is a fully detailed photo of a real piece of fencing in Weston-super-Mare. I couldn’t resist the paradoxically soft, curvy, lazy loops of unfriendly sharp razor-wire, sitting above the rigidly regular fence! I adjusted the image a little to keep that dark, dark background.
.
Thank you to the Just Lines Group and the Don’t Fence Me In Group for featuring this photo in 2008!

Maria Moro
This is brilliant,,,
Please consider one of your amazing artworks for our current Patterns on Gates Fences Railings
Colin S Pearson replied
Thank you very much Maria for your compliments :0) I’m really sorry that (while I was preoccupied with non-photography stuff for a while) I missed your proposal that I enter(ed) the ‘Patterns …’ challenge!
Marc Sullivan
Wow, this is great! Love the contrast of beautiful curves with sharp barbs and the straight and smooth. Perfect composition as well.
Colin S Pearson replied
Thanks Marc. I intend to pop around to the local company who’s fence it (still) is, to see if they can help me contact the chaps who erected this fence. I’d love to donate an RB-laminated print for their office wall as a salute to their workmanship!
Maria Moro
Nevermind there will be other challenges suitable,,, please submit your artwork into our group Shapes & Patterns
Colin S Pearson replied
Thanks Maria, pleased to do that :0)
Maria Moro
hello Again ,, I have a challenge for this one…
Please consider our Metallic Patterns
Colin S Pearson replied
Thanks Mario. I’d raced ahead and entered my “Radial Rodent barrier” to the challenge, and I’m scrabbling around trying to find if I can enter more than one image per challenge … ?

Colin S Pearson replied
Thanks Mario!!!! There isn’t a smiley yet that says “Whew … thanks! So I’ll say Whew!!! and thanks :0)
Maria Moro
Only one can be entered,, but you choose your favourite piece.. Sorry Colin,, didn’t mean to muck you about.. I love your work & it should be exposed for others to enjoy…
Colin S Pearson replied
No problem at all at all Mario, and thanks for swinging your light onto my wee corner of RedBubble’dom!
Colin S Pearson replied
I’m so sorry Maria for slipping up on your name in my replies above [blush] :-\
sticky
Fantastic shot…....... love it x
Colin S Pearson replied
Thanks again sticky. This is my own favourite example that we don’t need expensive cameras to take good photos. I took this one on my first digital camera (a Konica Minolta A2), rather than its ‘orribly costly successor, my Nikon D200!
Georgie Hart
Gorgeous strong simplicity, very appealing!
