Description
I spotted this interesting shutter on a newly constructed building on Amsterdam Avenue in upper Manhattan. I thought the building and its metal shutters looked quite striking. I did wonder how shutters that look like artsy slices of Swiss cheese would be able to shut out much of anything, Still, it was a nice photo op, so I rolled down the window of Joe's car and snapped a couple of pictures. We were conveniently stopped at a red light.
Per Wikipedia: Abstract photography, sometimes called non-objective, experimental, conceptual or concrete photography, is a means of depicting a visual image that does not have an immediate association with the object world and that has been created through the use of photographic equipment, processes or materials. An abstract photograph may isolate a fragment of a natural scene in order to remove its inherent context from the viewer, it may be purposely staged to create a seemingly unreal appearance from real objects, or it may involve the use of color, light, shadow, texture, shape and/or form to convey a feeling, sensation or impression. The image may be produced using traditional photographic equipment like a camera, darkroom or computer, or it may be created without using a camera by directly manipulating film, paper or other photographic media, including digital presentations.

Very unique! I also wonder how well it works and if it can be adjusted for the light level?
