This May Be Abstract

My middle name is May.  There are a lot of things that I "may" do.  Travel, for instance.  This abstract reminds me of a map or shapes found on a globe.  Or it could be reminiscent of creatures of the sea.  Either way, the colors and feel of these shapes inspire me--they inspire me to pursue the ideas in my mind of what I may do someday.

Not sure how accurate this info is, but more importantly, can you find the typo?

Call to Charm Cellphone Handset

Want to add a little retro to that special phone call?  I kind of like the idea. This lovely gadget can be found on modcloth.com.  We so often hear of a "headset," but not often do we hear talk of a "handset."

Created in a high-priority hue of eye-catching crimson with a soft-to-the-touch exterior, this ‘handy’ accessory also features a button on its inside edge, which allows you to begin and end calls, among other functions.  

Would you use this retro red device?  Would it in fact be more comfortable than holding your iphone to your ear for an hour-long phone conversation?

Decomposed

Decomposition 

With this image I wanted to explore my own composition of music and sort of "decompose" it in a sense.  This photo montage is comprised of images shot within just a few seconds.  Rather than simply focusing on my fingers and their motion, I created this image to only allude to their contribution.  Enjoy.

Speaking of Windows

*photo by me*

It's a beautiful Saturday, yet I need to clear the cobwebs off my mind. 

I'm partial to the space usage in this image.  

It wouldn't be the same, without showing that much window pane.  

Not that I want to write a poem or anything.

Out the Window

Reading through chapter four, "Illusion of Space, Illusion of Motion" of Launching the Imagination brought me back to an image found in chapter two.  In regards to space and perspective, Andrew Wyeth's "Wind from the Sea" from 1947 is a bit confusing to me.  At first glance I did not understand what was going on outside the window frame.  Perhaps this is just because there is not much in the scenery surrounding the road, but I found this image to be confusing.  While I love the look of the blowing sheer curtains, I don't quite understand Wyeth's perspective for the rest of the painting.
