Time to start posting again. I am working on putting a portfolio of my abstract images which I have collected over the years. These pictures are simply random fragments of various details, which I see and simply interest me. I have to agree with the American art historian Kirk Varnedoe, who said "The less there is to look at, the more important it is that we look at it closely and carefully. This is critical to abstract art. Small differences make all the difference."
The camera is my tool. Through it I give reason to everything around me. -- André Kertész (1894-1985)

The description explained that a mask is only "activated" during some of the Kwakwak a'wakw ceremonies
