The other day I saw some photographs by Alan Vlach and read what he said about his abstract photos. Here’s the quote:

“I am especially attracted to the visual potential of abstraction in my photographs. It allows us to recapture the wonder and awe that we lose as we identify, catalog and filter out information as a result of our education and experience. It provides an experience not unlike unmetered verse or improvisational jazz with its syncopation and dissonance. One must divest oneself of rules and fixed ideas to fully appreciate the experience.”

You can see some of Vlach’s photographs and read more of his thoughts on photography on the Lenscratch website.
