    Cool images, great idea, and he's an engaging, down-to-earth person also...
    I see a similarity to finding abstract shapes and textures in Rust and other, even natural subjects.
    Thanks for posting Richard!

    That's an interesting video, Richard. I very much equate what he's doing to my own approach in the abstract work I do when I shoot rust. I take something I happenstance upon, apply my own interpretation of it, and turn it into something entirely different. I'm sure he gets a real rush when he finds graffiti that he knows will respond to the visionary treatment he'll apply to it. He works cities, I work junkyards....same thing, perhaps.

    Take care my friend,

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Sounds like a nice video. Unfortunately I have a rule about adds preceding videos. If they are the 25 second type, and I can't skip them I leave. :cry
