Form


Birchbark Scrolls
ISO 100, 44mm, f/5.6, 1/400

I believe that form, like texture, elicits a very primal, tactile-loving response in all of us. 
 As children, we experience the feel of a curved form as we run our hand around a cup,
 the hard edge of angles on the edge of stairs,
 and the smoothness of a flat form as we play on the floor.

As adults, when our eyes traverse these same curves, angles, and planes, 
we cant't help but bring to these forms the many memories and 
experiences that we have encountered.

Form is but another delightful visual treat that we get to enjoy daily.

Today, I am linking into Exploring With a Camera.

    Your form entry is great, I love the shape of it and I know that feels almost like silk.
