Just like Claude Monet the French impressionist painter that painted balls of hay rolled up for winter feed for the animals and left in the fields these are my homage to them : bags of leaves. They remind me faintly of Monet's paintings.
I realize that these are just photos of bags of leaves but I may be the first person to take pictures of them and ask you to consider them as some form of art.
What do you think? Do you think that I am on the right track? I think I may be. Anyway, it sure was fun to take these pictures, to study the individual bags and the collections of them lined up neatly at the edge of the roads and peoples' yards.
It's more their forms that speak to me and then the colors trapped as well as the shapes and textures captured inside just touching the transparent plastic. They are not food like the hay. I guess you could think they might be akin to tobacco leaves and that you could possibly smoke them? Nah! Not a chance!!
I did see some with amazing colors trapped just below the surface and touching the plastic. These are not the best pictures that I took but they can give us all some idea of what I may be getting at. I'll look at the other pictures later. Enjoy these for something hopefully different and compelling in an odd sort of way. What was he thinking?!? Bags of leaves at the curb?!? Must have lost his mind. Sad....
Cheers, and enjoy. Happy Holidays 2008 to one and to all! TONY
