Stephen, this image, which I do like, goes beyond abstract, is more an abstraction of an subject that became disembodied, well seen...

Scan of a print - abstracted using a very special technique

From some fun experiments involving lamp black we did a few years ago at one of our Darkroom Group meetings. I call this one "Elvis". This is a digital capture (IIRC):

The old turn the print 90 degrees trick?

I'm found out - and so quickly too.
It actually looks fairly abstract when right side up too.

Siskind's sideways "R". As long as it works, and yours definitely works.

"Define abstract" often comes to mind. And some questions: Is it abstract...


... if I can tell how the image was made - are multiple exposures abstract?


... if I can see what has been photographed - is it just the place viewed through the prism of photographer?


... if I have a recurring case of Pareidolia and see faces...


... and Kodama inhabiting the forests?


Is this an abstract portrait of death or just two slides of a dead sparrow sandwiched in a single slide mount?
