25 Of My Favorite Urban Abstractions of 2011

I’m always looking for interesting abstract images created from every day life in this fine city of New York. Here are 25 of my favorite ones that I took in 2011. The picture above is just rain-soaked newspaper fround on a Manhattan sidewalk.

More Accidental Rothkos HERE  and HERE.

When people cover up graffiti, they’re rarely returning it to its previous state and most often creating a whole new image.  I like what is created as an unintended collaboration with the “creator” and the “concealer”.  It sometimes makes for some dynamic minimalist shit if you look for it.  For some of them, Mark Rothko comes to my mind.
