Assignment 7: Abstract

Abstraction is something I always try to incorporate in my photos and is a little more in my league compared to portraits, something I don't do often or particularly like doing. So when I set out to take some abstract today, I had in mind that I wanted to use a lot of lines, shapes, and continuity. It actually turned out to be a nice day with a clear blue sky, no clouds, and the sun slicing right through the city. As a result,  harsh lighting and shadows became another element in my final pictures. They also share a kind of contrast between plant life and building life.
