Urban Lines

In art the line is one of the basic tools used by the artist to control the viewer's eye. It can be used to indicate form as well as movement within the form.

Architecture is where the line is most commonly obvious to the eye.  It is subtle in the landscape and the buildings that occupy it.  You have to look to see triangles, squares, and octagons outside and within these structures.

In this series of architectural images I have chosen concentrate on the various shapes and to use them abstractly.  You might say I have filled my camera frame with lines moving in all directions.

The Line

I am always attracted to the lines which makeup the shape and form of the image before me or even in my thought processes.  I use the line and light often as sometimes the main subject of my image.   The challenge is to take the horizontal and vertical lines within a subject and make them the main focal point of the composition.
