Description
Captured 2/6/14, off a wall early on an overcast morning, somewhere within the vast perimeter of the neighborhood.
Original on top. Photo 4 shows it after being spray painted by marauding feral youths; photo 5 depicts it having been snapped in low light, old and crumpled.
Utterly ZOOM worthy.
Adjo.

too much textures...colored textures !!!
I like them all, Harry!
The wall of many colours...that dry weather seems to be taking its toll on the fences and garage doors down there, Harry. But that peeling paint texture is endlessly fascinating, with all its shadow permutations under the peeling. Excellent selection of variations!
Very nice work Harry, I like the variations.
Spectacular textures and colors my friend, awesome work!
creative photography and postwork, well done!
OMG!! you made it look really pretty!!
These qualify as "analytic" variations, because of the way you penetrate the language of the decay, its lines, the hues, etc. You go inside them, in other words. First, the original has an almost "map" feel, because---on the left---I can make out a North America, bits of a South America, with the connective Central America in between; with a definite Hudson Bay (do you see it? I'm not crazy---you have the Husdon freakin' Bay up there!), and a suggestion of Europe on the right. Amazing how much you find in a single brick or concrete block. And the natural hues make it all really pretty (as angora said). Then, no. 2 seems to be saturated, where all the hues are intensified and the overall light-green becomes a rich olive green, and the 'continents' are now in deep pinks and reds. Then you've liquified, animated, pulled the image with magnetic force, which illuminates the boundary lines and makes those big peeled chips really dramatic. (Ie, with deep shadows underneath.) This is why I say 'analytic', because they explore lines and energies of the original. Then your feral-youth-spay-paint-job---lol, nicely done, creating a watercolor effect, or an aerial view suddenly beset by cloud-shadows. And the last one is like a very old photo, with all those cracks in the surface; or a still from a very old film (w/ cracks); or an aerial view revealing rivers or fault lines---they look tectonic in nature. A fine use of desaturation. A wonderful grouping, with the expressive original at their core; and more fine paint-peel photography from you, with very thoughtful variations. I think it should be apparent to people, by now, that these shots are actually penetrations into natural process itself: They're really shots of the cataclysms, ebbs and flows of nature itself. It's why it's so easy to see geological and geographical detail in them; because, in closeup, they have that scale to me. "The universe in a grain of sand." Beautiful work, and creative. I've been here 2 hours (can you believe it, as I've only commented on 6 shots!). But it's almost 4 a.m. here, so I have to stop. But I'll be back in the next 24 to 48 hours: This is part one of my session, I'm not done yet!)
Ok I hate following Mark in the comments, I mean what do you add to that. ?! You get an A plus on originality nice job!
