THE PHOTO:
Bordering on abstract (hence it’s inclusion in that category), this B&W treatment of this unusual shot sort of makes it harder to determine the subject matter, but the effect is better that the unprocessed look. I just managed to get the old D70 wedged inside a pumice rut on the driveway from heavy rain a week or two ago. So sort of a moles-point-of-view shot if you will.
