Abstraction in Carmel

Recent snaps focus on abstraction.

I don’t know how these things happen, but now and then my photography hits an abstract streak, much as it did during my recent sojourn in Carmel-by-the-Sea, that prettiest of California’s seaside towns. Maybe it’s just a reaction to all that hard striving retail shopping all around.


On guard. Thinking of Saul Leiter.

Stairs


Carmel pines


Snapping away


The bride


Fake landscape


Painted painting

All snapped on the G1, mostly in Carmel’s alleyways which, the local guide book informs me, has no fewer than 42 such passageways!
