  • An abstract non-representational view of a piece of ceramic art created by intentional vertical motion blur.
  • An old-style knocker in Paris on a door with weathered paint peeling. The fantastical image of the man holding the wrought iron ring in his mouth evinces the pain in the image.
  • A small section of graffiti created on a brick wall in Post Alley near the Pike Place Market in Seattle.
  • An old brick wall in Post Alley in the Pike Place Market in Seattle is covered with chewing gum deposited over a number of years. The gum is worked into names and other forms of graffiti.
  • A detail view of a portion of the famous bubble gum wall in Post Alley near the Pike Place Market in Seattle. This landmark has built up layers of chewing gum over the years in colorful abstract pattern.
  • Details of a colorful wall covered in bubble gum deposited over the years in the Post Alley section of the Pike Place Market in Seattle show off a gross and disgusting landmark in Seattle.
  • A piano in a shopping mall is located on a podium platform that is formed in the shape of yin yang symbol.
  • A detail view of one of the ornamental roof sculptures on the old fortress of the Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town, South Africa. The cracks run throughout the figure and help outline the muscles.
  • A telescope at an observation point at Golden Gate Park that, with some imagination, looks like a face with two eyes, a nose, ears, and a smiling mouth. The bush in the background even provides some hair.
  • A view of the suspension cables on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. This perspective, looking upwards through the supporting cables, is an absract view.
  • An abstract view of the suspension cables on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. This view plays off the contrast between the newly painted red cables and the blue sky.
  • Patterns made be a small stream flowing over a sandy beach. The paths of the small rivulets make a pattern similar to the braided channels of a large river delta. The shade and highlights are prominent because the image was taken when the sun was very low.
  • Two lights in a pool of water in Kobe are distorted by the ripples in the pool.
  • A white geometric ironwork lattice is an architectural abstract pattern when outlined against the sky.
  • A single strand of a barbed wire fence with a very sharp point is outlined against a deep blue sky.
  • An orange cone and painted concrete warn of a set of cracks in the tarmac at an airport.
  • A detail on one of three cherubs on display at the Versailles Palace.
  • A statue of a man with a pigeon perched on his head in Paris.
  • A reflection of two Jewish people in an old mirror, spotted with age, in one of the bathrooms at the Theresienstadt concentration camp in the Czech Republic. In a form of Impressionism, the ghostly image represents a reflection of two people but also a historical reminder of the memory of the Holocaust.
  • A girl's eye staring through the center of a piece of paper that has been rolled into a tube like a periscope. The close focus has made this more abstract and distorted the color of the paper into a purple tinge.
