Viewing the Abstract~ Pre class photos

I am just leaving a wonderful week in New Orleans where I spent some time working on creating abstract shots as I am enrolled in an online course through Kim Ort. My mother once asked me, "don't you get tired of taking the same photos in New Orleans all the time?", (we visit there often) What my mother, and I imagine a great deal of other people, fail to realize is that we never take the same photo twice, it is actually impossible, which to me is fascinating. Never will the light, the circumstances, my view be exactly the same. This is one of the reasons I enjoy photography so much, it really is about that one moment of time captured.

These photos were taken before any instruction was given. I was caught by the light and shapes.
