Sometimes when I go out to take pictures, I have an idea of the photos I want. Other times, I go out with the intention of taking photos but with no idea what I’ll see. Then there are times when I have my phone with me but no intention of taking photos at all.

I did not plan to take photos this day, and my car was dirty. Since I had never been in the car while it was going through the carwash, I thought, “Why not?”

I was surprised at how interesting it was. The next thing I knew I had my phone out, snapping away. This photo looks like an abstract painting but that wasn’t my intention. In fact, I had no intention. I was just killing time, getting my car washed. During processing I played around with different apps, filters, and colors until I was happy with the result.
