Shape and form

Shape and form. This is an interesting topic and one I see covered far too infrequently in the photography circles I apparently frequent. We see shapes and form all around us but how often are shapes and forms really the subject of a photograph? It could be that when shapes and form are the subjects the art is often more abstract causing us to think too hard or find it difficult to relate to the art. How many of us have visited an art gallery and seen the abstract art pieces and just scratched our heads because “we just don’t get it” or “what is the artist trying to convey”.

Shape and form are all around us in man-made objects and in nature. Maybe, just maybe I need to start paying more attention to shape and form.
