ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Intentional Camera Movement was used to achieve the blurring of the lady and then a second shot was made with intentional camera movement to make the frame (or box).

Thirty years ago, my spouse saw this image and thought the lady looked like she was trapped behind glass. It was displayed in her apartment for a while, but it was rolled up and stored for many years. When she recently showed me the image for the first time and unrolled the photo, it was like the lady was still trapped in paper. I wanted to give her confinement a third dimension. Unfortunately, the lady is still trapped.

AUTHOR
Leroy Christenson was born into an artistic family. His grandmother and mother were artists and his father was an amateur photographer. Growing up on the Canadian prairies gave him an opportunity to learn how to find beauty in almost everything. He has a natural curiosity for all things, but especially appreciates the physics and wonderment of light.

He studied digital photography at the Vancouver Institute of Media Arts where he worked on refining his black and white fine art and abstract photography.

His abstract photography is a self-induced study of light, lines, shapes, colours, textures, patterns, contrast and time.

Leroy currently lives on Vancouver Island, Canada.
