i think i’ve mentioned before that a magazine that i subscribe to has monthly “assignments.” i like doing the assignments. they make you think and be creative, solve problems and have something to shoot. the assignment this time is: PATTERNS IN NATURE – looking for “photographs with shape, color and texture all in play.” here are the ones i shot in santa barbara. i’d love comments, if you have time. thx.

tree stump bark




rusty mailbox



more rust at alma rosa



even more rust at alma rosa




i’m not sure this is nature. it might be paint and formed bricks




lovely tree stump
