You Cannot Miss This: Abstract Photography

In light of our recent photography assignment, I found an awesome post by colourlovers.com on Abstract Impressionistic Photography. Very similar to what we were asked to do in class, this post talks about using photography as a  means of capturing moments in life that serve as incredible inspiration for design.

From these "abstract" photographs, we are able to pull natural, yet innovative palettes, as well as ideas of movement, contrast and texture.

I'm definitely not a trained photographer of any sort, which is not for a lack of appreciation of the art. I love the idea of using the world around you as a form of inspiration, and if anything else, this blog, along with our previous assignment, enhance my desire to become a better "user" of the outside world!
