How do you set up and plan abstract Photography?

Well, Katherine, this is not something that you set up for or plan most of the time. It's in the way that one sees an image. Abstracts occur in your imagination and when one is walking about with a camera, an abstract image presents itself from a particular scene. Abstracts can fall into two categories:1. "abstracting" a smaller scene from the larger scene and, 2. photographing a pure abstract, which is unrecognizable to the viewer.
The pictures are all inside of the photographer long before the image appears in front of the lens. The more images you view in an analytical way, the broader your vision will become and you will begin seeing more abstract images.
In other words, Katherine, take a lot of pictures of what you like and analyse everything else you see. Learning to see abstract imagery is a process.

Tony's explanation seems dead on to me. The world is the sum of its parts, the more you look at the smaller parts, the more abstracts you should see.
