These abstract black and white photos were taken on Monday night at the MAC.  Unfocused and devoid of colour they seem all the more powerful for it.

This is my favourite wabi-sabi photograph from Monday's session at the MAC.

What do you see?  A tiny person threatened by a rapaciously toothed monster?  Someone falling from the top of a very tall peak?  A gentle, straight incline? A fine-art museum-piece?

In reality it was a deliberately out of focus photograph of some minor imperfections and scuffs on the side of a waste-paper bin.

The Japanese concept of wabi-sabi is intriguing. The celebration of impermanence, imperfection, melancholy and the everyday.

This is my first attempt at wabi-sabi photography.
