Crusted Fluff

By Mark Gregory Peters

Only minerals.  Crusted. Or maybe fluffly.  All  I can say is I found it interesting.  I will be posting a series of abstracts, of which this is the first,  photographed a few  months ago but that until now have never escaped the “will get to it” folder.  They are all very simple images, maybe not even compositionaly interesting, but certainly capture what I found exciting about the scene at the moment.  There always has been something beautiful about simple lines and uniform color (or the lack of) and I’m no different than anybody else who has chosen to photograph these things. It’s kind of like when I take my daughter to the science museum and we pass by the sand behind a glass panel exhibit.  Much to her frustration I can spend hours looking at the different shapes and marveling at what simple physics can create.  Like these pictures, snatched out of context from the planet’s glass panel exhibit.  On the hand, it’s completely different than what I usually photograph so maybe that’s why I like it.  Crust. Nice.
