New Jersey Nature Photography – Unsettling

I’ve intentionally been taking art photos with just enough intentional blur to retain definition on the subject matter, but also enough to cause some ghosting within the frame.  One man honestly stated that my photos could make him nauseous if they were hung on his walls.  I couldn’t help myself from chuckling.  One word that came up in online discussions is “unsettling”, and that helps me remember why I began taking these photos.  Unsettling is the goal.

Art Photo: Traffic

I guess you could call this one street photography?  The technique was admittedly little more than a random snapshot, but whenever I look at this I like it more.  I’d like to shoot a series of similar snapshots.
