Image copyright 2009 Byron O'NealIt's been quite some time since I was able to add anything to the Spheres body of work. I'm particularly proud of this image. It is tonally exceptionally smooth.

Art using tape - Mark Jenkins
Mark Jenkins has some really creative work. Using tape and the existing environment he manages to create surreal landscapes from the mundane. Frankly, some of them are a little creepy, but I like it and the other off the wall galleries he has on the website. Under the contacts banner is a link to making tape art sculptures on your own.

He may not want credit here but I must thank Russell Kaye for the heads up to Meatcards.com, now offering laser cut business cards made out of jerky. These cats are up on Twitter too. Amusing!

Abstract 11
Image copyright 2009 Byron O'NealNot to be confused with a picture of a painting, here is more from my delving into urban abstraction in the form of a picture of paint.

Abstract 12
Image copyright 2009 Byron O'NealI'm working on the body of abstracts that are a combination of urban decay and paint. I can't bring myself to get away from the square format lately.

South Africa speaks publicly about their government through art
With elections approaching in South Africa, stencils were sprayed on public walls allowing people to express how they want change to occur in their government and country. What a clever use of the stencil.

Sometimes you see a photographer's work and are taken aback by just how cool it really is, this would be the case here.

Nautilus
Image copyright 2009 Byron O'NealI will be exploring the idea here further this week. I shot this on a quick trip to the Oklahoma Aquarium yesterday with the boy and chasing him around was more important than taking pictures.

Valkyries - New Addition to the Reflections Series
Image copyright 2009 Byron O'NealI was downloading a CF card yesterday and discovered that it had been a whole month since I'd shot any personal work. Man does time fly. Some people have inquired as to how I come up with a title for images in the Reflections Series. I base it on first impression and what I'm thinking about at that time. In this case, for some reason I was thinking about the movie Max Payne that I saw some months ago and reminiscing on the movie's awfulness. I've always had a fondness for the Valkyrie mythology and thinking about the inclusion in the movie caused me to see two clasping figures with wings which naturally at that time became Valkyries. Add to that the prominent orange letter "V" and there you go.
My intent with the series is to examine symbolism as it spontaneously comes to the viewer. Some titles are more leading than others, but I'm just not happy leaving them untitled. It leaves me without any grounding as the nature of the series is abstract to begin with.

Little Cabin in the Woods
Image copyright 2009 Byron O'NealBurning through some commercial work for the Holiday Inn Express in Brevard, North Carolina and thought I'd share the latest, greatest. I'm still learning the Silver EFex Pro software that converts to black and white. The grey edge will be the sides as this piece will be gallery wrapped.
