I was out lookin’ for pictures this morning at 6. Just across the street from where I live, to the west and maybe 3 doors away, I came across two dogs in a bay window. One was a German shepherd; the other was all white, maybe a poodle. The all-white dog was goin’ bonkers. It was barking so loud and jumpin’ on and clawing at the window so hard that I thought a psychiatric unit was gonna show up, tranquilize the thing and stuff it into a straitjacket.
The wild white dog was gonna make for a great shot; and I was excited; but every time I got ready take the picture, the dog ran from the window and disappeared. I tried to take the shot several times; each time the damned dog vanished.
The shepherd was not excited and stood there motionless, looking out the window. I went ahead and shot the pic with just him, which I was sure would make a good pic, but it could be nowhere as good had the white dog stayed and continued to act like a maniac.
When I edited the pic, I found I liked the whole thing more as it went into an abstract image. My editing (for better or worse and through no intention of my own) made the shepherd disappear.
I hope you like this image. It is one of four which I made, and for what it is worth, WordPress people don’t seem to like my abstract stuff as much as I do.
I like the abstracts that I find on the page, the ones that somehow seem to have already been there or to have been made by another me caught on a sidewalk in a dream I wasn’t.
