Photographer and graphic designer.
Recently while browsing the web for new prints, I came across the gallery of Abba Richman. I was drawn to many of Abba's prints, primarly because of his composition and how he captures the bold colors of many objects that we see, and perhaps ignore, everyday. His "Alphabet Series" (featured at right) is a wonderful photo essay using common everyday items to recreate the alphabet.
"There is nothing to be invented in our visual world, it's all there. I shy away from photographing glorious sunsets, flowers, animals and beautiful things (or people). I find myself again and again looking at ordinary everyday objects, at garbage, old things, discarded junk, stuff lying around and at the man in the street; looking at things really close up and trying to find beauty in their colour and form. Sometimes I find that beauty, more often I don't. Now and then I am satisfied with what I have photographed, occasionally very satisfied and sometimes... well, I just start again and continue looking."Link: Abba Richman
