I have been photographing spills for over eight years now. Over time I've gotten better at noticing these found abstractions, sometimes quite tiny, and I've come to know the color/tonality I can pull from the raw image. As with much of my photography, the chosen subject would likely go unnoticed by people walking by.
These images all originated as Instagram posts. I have pulled out the best of the bunch and associated them to each other either as diptychs or triptychs. The paired/triad images were likely shot years apart.
My eye tends to be abstract in nature; I hope you enjoy this exhibit of abstractions found spilled, splattered, or dripped right there on the street.

Red is my favorite color. The silver lining to the city installing dedicated bus lanes on my neighborhood bus route (and taking away my beloved just-around-the-corner bus stop... and LOTS of parking spaces)... is that they painted these lanes red. Granted not as vibrant a red as shown in these images, but a pretty good proximity. Most of these pictures are of their process of painting these lanes, and I've included a few other ground surfaces that share the color red.
These images are part of my broader ongoing series of things found on the ground.
