RESUME
" t e x t u r e s "


I am attracted to visual patterns and interesting textures/patinas. Sometimes nature works magic on the otherwise banal (as in rusty objects), sometimes it's human invention (LED lights), and with many of these, it's just the low-light/no flash situation that caused my camera to make a blurry exposure. Whatever the case, these are interesting close-up.

Again, these are NOT stock photos and are absolutely NOT for commercial use.
