Exploring the Pacific Northwest Landscape

Pool of Water (Abstract)

Posted October 23rd, 2007 in [hide]


Diagonal lines are a powerful tool to draw on when composing a frame. This is true in portraiture, landscape or cityscape photography, and it’s true, sometimes even the saving grace, in abstract photography.

Here, in the heart of San Francisco’s financial district, a fountain decorating the foot of a skyscraper is hardly rare. This one is outside what used to be The Sharper Image, then Charles Schwab, always a favorite meeting place for the bike messengers. A jet shoots water upward, causing ripples and even waves. Below the water is a tile bed, obscured by the movement and sun reflecting on the surface; above is a leaf, fallen from one of the nearby trees.

  1. That’s pretty strange man did you set out to shoot that or just find it?

  2. I’m not sure I understand, and there’s no way in a million years I’d guess what the pic is of, but wow! that’s cool!
