Abstract & Patterns

"To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."

(Elliott Erwitt, american photographer *1928 ).

I don't take the definition of abstract photography very strict but I showcase here a selection of photographs which do not have an immediate association with their natural context. Due to framing, isolation, close or far distance to the subject and different camera settings .... it can be a fragment of a natural scene and uses colour, light, shadow, texture, patterns shape, form to create an interesting picture.
