Running Man Or Woman

  • Photographer
    Gary Cotton

This is my abstract version of a minimalist human figure that has enough detail to look like a human, man or woman, running. Why running? Well the options are nearly endless as the image makes the viewer think that the person is late for something, maybe missing a plane, trying to hail down a cab, or maybe just jogging for exercise and recreation. The image without much detail allows observers to develop their own interpretation in order to clarify the ambiguity.

My professional background is in university administration. I am an amateur photographer whose interests are primarily in abstract and experimental, modern art photography. I also enjoy more traditional travel-related photography focused mainly in the areas of architecture, nature and landscapes. Some of my early photography accompanied the pages of an online literary magazine. In addition, I am the author of two published mystery novels for which I designed the cover art.
