…better late than never, as they say.

Finally here is the new “Picture of the month” for June!

“Constellation No 9″ is part of a new series I am (thinking of) working on, which incorporates text fragments or numbers into the image. The idea is to divorce the characters from any sense of meaning so that they become simply an abstract part of the picture.

The old nail heads remind me of a stellar constellation (hence the title). Fortunately they do not resemble any actual constellation (…and there are not nine of them!). I love the utilitarian effect of the stencil and the additional modern screws that also speak to the effects of age.

Over the next few days I will be adding about 30 new images to the gallery. This will mean additions to nearly every category including curve, shadows, and touch series. I anticipate that some of these images will eventually become new series of their own (two in particular, tentatively called “View Through” and Secret Places”). Keep checking!

Hope you like.
