The ICM technique is usually associated with nature or urban scenes, where blur becomes an expected effect, but architecture works differently. Here, camera movement creates a contrast between rigid geometry and its soft trace.
In this mismatch, an abstraction emerges that is built on form, not on effect. But is the recognisable source important in such work, or should the abstract form conceal it almost entirely, leaving only a hint of where it came from?

I really like abstract photography or art, but sadly for some unknown reason, on this photography site it never gets any attention or recognition... ???
Thank you. I feel the same. Abstract work rarely gets attention online, but it is not about the platform. It is about the way abstraction asks to be seen. It needs time instead of scrolling and scale instead of thumbnails, and neither of these things truly exists on the internet.
