The image is blurred, with large blocks of color like an abstract painting. Green to the lower left and right, yellow at upper right, and a white rectangular mass at the center. Several squiggles, like marks from yellow and white pens, can be seen in the upper half of the image. A strip of beige at the lower center draws the eye to a bright area at the center of the image.

Harvard Yard

Digital photography

An abstracted image of Harvard Yard, taken as a 5 second exposure while moving along a sidewalk.

The image consists of blobs of color - white, red, blue, yellow, at the center band of the picture, with a dark blue-green sky and light ground foreground, as if you squinted while crossing a street.

Memorial Drive

Digital Photography

An intentionally blurred long exposure night time image of Memorial Drive.

Artist Statement

Recently, I have been experimenting with photography of the Harvard campus at night. The images are intentionally blurred, employing a long exposure and camera movement, to create abstracted compositions.
