Frank Hutton That'd be this...

E. Writer This is a nice shot. What is this structure?

Frank Hutton Cut tree stump, with fungi and probably lichen.

E. Writer This looks like an aerial shot of a massive area. Nice camera trick.

Frank Hutton Well, the trick’s in your mind, as it’s just me looking down on a cool stump and capturing it. To me, that independence of visual interpretation is the coolest thing about making abstract imagery. Every viewer must bring to it their own vision.

It’s okay that my single finest image capture of last year didn’t make the final cut @ Smithsonian’s ’25 photo contest, that wasn’t expected. Good news is, now I get to use that and accompanying work as best I choose, which I have.

My goodness that was one helluva spider…
