Two Squares #64, Blue on Yellow

Two Squares #64, Blue on YellowTwo Squares is a series of compositions based on, as you may have guessed, two squares. This one is all about waves. The wave patterns here are pressed in steel sheets; I photographed them in La Crosse, Wisconsin, thinking at the time that they were cool and unique and that I needed to have them on file. The corrugated wave panels are steely gray, and I added the bright, contrasty blue and yellow in post. Camera: Fujifilm X E3, natural light. Details

The foundation of this composition is a photograph of water droplets that formed on a table top after a cold spring rain

The textures and styles of vintage wall advertisements often capture my attention

It makes a superb print
