Sanford Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Sandy, and Photoriot: "Enfolded" and "Good Ideas..." would be tough subjects in any forum, but trying to find an abstract that expresses either one is near impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Vongries Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Sorry! I was at a nice restaurant with camera on the table, and I saw the shot -- actually 3. The name may be more of an issue -- as I struggled with that. Don't usually post Abstracts, but didn't quite know what to call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norma Desmond Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Sandy, and Photoriot: "Enfolded" and "Good Ideas..." would be tough subjects in any forum, but trying to find an abstract that expresses either one is near impossible. Since there are so many No Words forums going on at any given time, when I come across a thread I have nothing on hand for and don't think I can go out and shoot something for, I don't participate in that thread and know that another thread will come along pretty soon. Sometimes these esoteric threads can force a whole lot of thought and I'll come up with something. Other times, I'm at a loss, so I can't play. But I'm glad to see threads that can present these kinds of tough challenges. I noticed Enfolded the other day, but had kind of forgotten about it. I'll let this serve as a reminder. I'm going out for my daily walk and will keep it in mind. Maybe I can contribute something later. We didn't need dialogue. We had faces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norma Desmond Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 By the way, Sandy, I think the Enfolded photo you posted to the Enfolded thread is the best of the ones from that day. The way you caught the guy is great. While every photo has a degree of abstraction, some obviously more than others, I don't consider it an abstract shot, though I'm not a stickler for categories and understand why you might think of it that way. To me, it's an off-beat street shot, which I actually think makes it more interesting. I do think you might have had more photo responses if that had been posted to an Enfolded thread in No Words as opposed to Abstract, but that's neither here nor there at this point. I'll be looking out for something today. We didn't need dialogue. We had faces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norma Desmond Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Well, for now, I'll submit this. Took it a while back and just cropped and worked it up for this thread. Also, not fully abstract . . . [Actually, just deleted it here and posted it to your original Enfolded thread.] We didn't need dialogue. We had faces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
