It just hit me when I took these pictures. I could be left anywhere doing anything and if I have my camera in my hand, it will turn into some kind of picture take exercise. I went to Walmart and photographed the place for a little while and if I had been left alone, I would have probably done up the whole place.

These things here. Well, I was on the train (huge surprise) and I was sitting next to this ad for some tv show. I have no interest in this tv show, but the light was hitting the ad in a way that I found interesting. Of course, with my handy-dandy camera, I started shooting away.

The ads are half-tone, which is the printing method used for newspapers. I used to be fascinated by it, all the dots and how the dots kind of come together for an image from far away. Anyway, I took these, downloaded them and sort of realized that they look kind of like Chuck Close or Roy Lichtenstein. That was completely not my intent. All I wanted was to photograph the little dot things.

You have to click on the photos to get the full effect. Otherwise, they are a bit flat, I know, I realize that.

Anyway, three paragraphs of explanation for these things:

This reminded me of one of those old ads from the 1950s. The thing to the right by the way is a man in a collared shirt.

The eye, singular:

The lesson is that I cannot be left alone with a camera anywhere ever. But I feel creative again and that was the point of this exercise.
