Drawing nearer is the end of July. Any ideas on a theme for the month of August?
In the past we have done "ambient achromatic" (available light & devoid of color), "transportation" and "come and go". I think that covers the last three Augusts by my best recollection.
Maybe I'm boxing myself in but here go a couple of "AA" themes that I think could push me into experimentation:
(1) August Aberrations (aberration- in optics, a defect in an image caused by failure of a lens system to form a perfect image. ie; lens flare, wide angle distortion, vignetting, etc.) NOTE: these aberrations can be manipulated on purpose with the equipment (ex. Lensbaby, fisheye lens, etc) or in processing.
or
(2) Abstract August (well, this pretty much speaks for itself but it is about the relatively unidentifiable but artistically creative form found within otherwise identifiable elements/subjects. It becomes more about form, shape, color and/or light/shadow than the element(s) from which it is taken)
Any thoughts???
