Deconstruction (part 3) - Wobbly Wednesday!

Posted by Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 1 August 2012 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

A short series of abstracts mainly put together using Pixel Bender for 64 bit Photoshop CS5.

A few moths ago the Bizz Bar on Ocean Road in South Shields suddenly collapsed showering the street with tons of debris. The building had been undergoing some "refurbishment" at the time of the collapse and little is known about the true reason why its structure spectacularly failed. I documented the aftermath the following day as contractors started to clear away the mess, the pictures themselves were not earth shattering but they gave me the basis for these artistic abstracts.

Now where did I put those cardboard glasses?

@Hiro: Now you know that you don't need to spend money on a new 3D camera if you already have Photoshop :-)

I remember a really messed up Zenith TV that a friend had, way back in the late 70s, that was similar to this... excellent experimental-fun series, Curly.
