. . . compare and contrast.
It's interesting to go back and suddenly notice similarities and differences in one's photos over the years.
These two have similar compositions and forms.
The color photo of palm trees against a green- and white-painted building were taken in Florida in 2011.
The black and white photo of strips of paper was taken in the city of Orange, California in 2013.
Both are abstracts. Both have no real focal point. Both consist of similar vertical objects. Blah, blah, blah.
I like them both because they're clean, simple, strong, and mysterious.
But I can understand why YOU might not like them at all!
