This is a plastic bag covered with silt and algae in the lake near our house. I like the way the sunlight plays over the forms.

In the Beautiful Trash photo essay.

    Nice abstraction. I can imagine this as a close up of a section of a Rembrandt.

    Beautiful tones, the kind of image you can spend some time looking at. What time of day was this taken?

    It was taken about 5:00 p.m. in May, 2005. I didn’t think much about it at the time. Fortunately I burn almost everything I shoot to CD (or DVD). Periodically, when I’m bored, I look back over my CDs and sometimes find surprises like this.
