Sunday stuff.......


After visiting the Des Moines Art Center, I decided that I need to not be so concerned about my perfection as a photographer.  Granted there is no excuse for bad photo work, but there is a place for the abstract images that create modern, abstract design. Modern design throws out realism in some cases and leans on only a couple of the elements of design instead of all of the six design elements.
So today I share a photo of a new mug, leaning on color, value, and shape.  The mug has a saying inside of it saying that it doesn't get any better than this.  On a good day, I will make it my goal to see if I can photograph it clear, just to see that it can be done.  Because it is on and inside curve, the light becomes a problem.  To mock what I just said, I will probably prove that I can do better than this.


This is the outside illustration on the mug.  Have a great Sunday.
