While I was shooting on South Congress, I found that my common theme was getting really close to my subjects. Uncomfortably close. I was on the ground a lot of the time, underneath the legs of chairs and sticking my camera in a flower. I really liked the way that getting close to objects helped me view aspects of the composition as shapes and values, rather than literal objects. With this perspective, I was able to see the principles of Gestalt working all around me.
