  • An abstract pattern taken from a piece of driftwood on San Juan Island. In black and white, the swirls from the wood grain are most apparent.
  • Weathered old yellow shingles on an outside wall of a house form an abstract pattern.
  • An old, weathered wall of plywood covered in peeling paint and remnants of old flyers that had been stapled on and then ripped off.
  • A pattern created from the exterior wall of a fireplace made of rounded rocks from an old river bed.
  • A stack of wood logs that have been split into firewood. Many of the logs show the growth rings as well as the tree bark.
  • A macro view of the skin of a paw-paw cactus is almost abstract. The texture and pattern shows the detail of this plant.
  • A weapons display of old swords, pistols, and various kinds of spears all surrounding a great lion emblem that is well-lit by a spot of sun.
  • A series of used car tires that have been cut and bent are used as boat bumpers for a passenger ferry dock. Note that this is almost in black and white.
  • Silvery shiny steel sheet panels of a locomotive engine used to pull ships on the Panama Canal reflects light in unique pattern.
  • Machine gun ammunition scattered on the ground after being fired on a firing range in Vietnam. The used cartridges are all mixed up.
  • The translucent underside of a giant leaf from a forest in Ireland was dimly lit from the sky above. The pattern from the veins is clearly apparent. The leaf was probably about five feet wide and about six feet tall.
  • A close-up abstract image of a kind of cactus found in the Arizona desert. The fronds all spread out from the center of the plant in an almost even pattern.
  • Closeup details from a saguaro cactus from the Sonora desert in Arizon. The sharp spines are nature's way of providing protection for the cactus from predators.
  • A box full of white vanilla and dark chocolate cupcakes.
  • A small portion of a glass installation with a part of Queen Anne Hill in Seattle visible along the bottom. (Scanned from black and white film.)
