An Inspiration?

I was looking at my friend, Frank Ayala's photo in the previous blog entry and something in my head told me that I had seen this, or something like this, before. Then it hit me.

Eroded Rock #51, Pt. Lobos, CA, 1930 by Edward Weston

Although one is a figure study and the other is a rockscape, I find them to be almost one and the same. What do you think? Let me know.

I'd like to be Frank...

Frank Ayala!

Sea Shell, 2003 by Frank Ayala

Franks is a friend from Rod Klukas' large format class at Scottsdale CC. Frank photographs the human figure mostly, which I don't have the opportunity to do. He is also an accomplished painter, which is something I have been kicking around inside my brain... taking some of my photographic images and painting them, abstractly, of course.
