From Playgrounds to Skylines

As you may have noticed, we are ALL about comparisons. We believe it makes you see certain objects in a new light and makes you take away something totally different. A jungle gym on a playground in Longview, TX and a sculpture at the Lincoln Park Zoo- two geometric structures with loads of repetition pair beautifully together. The repetition of similar shapes is one of the things that drew us to this comparison, but oh, how the contrast of the environments they live in can lend SO much more to the image!

Great things are done by a series of small things brought together. -Vincent Van Gogh

Night Light

There is something refreshing about not being able to discern everything in a photograph. It forces you to to see the image as a combination of shape, form, color, line, space, value, and texture. You can only judge it simply on the elements of art it contains, not by what the photography actually shows.
For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of stars makes me dream. -Van Gogh
