Creating an abstract photo
About two weeks ago, I was having lunch in a Scottsdale restaurant that I had never been to before. I was comfortably seated in a tastefully contemporary dining room and while I was waiting for my food I started noticing all the little decorative details around me. That's when I saw that this shot might create a very interesting abstract photo and I must say I was pleased with the results.
Can you tell from this photo where I found my abstract inspiration? The restaurant is called simply "Bobby's" and when I saw that it was a Mancuso restaurant, I had to give it a try. The Mancuso family has been serving outstanding Italian cuisine for many years in the Phoenix area. This new restaurant also serves as a jazz club with music nightly in the second floor lounge.
The other half of the dining room is decorated with red glass and a wall of photos of musicians all named "Bob". Very clever. Oh yes, the food was delicious!
Reminder: The theme for July 1st is Celebrating Summer!
It's win win win! Great interior shots.
ReplyDeleteAwesome picture Nr one!
ReplyDeleteWas there one at La BOrgata once in a while?
What a great place! Fun and funky. Your "abstract" is perfect and right up my alley. Of course, I all my shots abstract 'cause they're all blurry! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous place; the family is very innovative and creative. The different forms and shapes in the top phone make it very special.
ReplyDeleteShould be "in the top PHOTO"

ReplyDeleteI'm glad the food was fab too Sharon, that would have been a disappointment if it hadn't in these funky surroundings.. j'adore le abstract :)
ReplyDeleteI love your abstract photo! Just enough shimmer.
