Geometric Abstractions:
In creating these computer generated photographic images, I was influenced by Henri Cartier-Bresson's fondness for using a sense of geometry in his photographs. By using Adobe Photoshop exclusively, I have created these images by using the pen tool and a blank canvas. I am exploring the boundaries between the canvas and photographic prints while using mathematics to visually express my ideas.
