line drawing

i was just playing around this afternoon, photographing grass leaves from various angles. i probably took 250 photos, and announced to the rest of my family about halfway through that i was overwhelmed with beauty. every angle revealed some new shape, some new abstract pattern, some new arrangement of circles and curves. but it wasn’t until i had started sorting through my 250 photos that i saw this. immediately i could see the head, the chest, the curve of back into loins, the arm reaching out to hold the torso vertical. it was like a line drawing with the perfect mix of figurative representation, and random elements. a woman sitting on the subway. a girl sitting on a swing. a person looking pensively off into the distance. i sort of wish i could have made this drawing intentionally. but i also sort of love that i happened upon it randomly, and fell in love.
