We move so quickly through the world. We rush through traffic, pushing through our work day with our eyes and attention on our screens. Floral photography allows us to see the beauty in life. Looking at an image through a macro lens we see life close up. It gives us the rare chance to see the details, textures, colors, and compositions of nature’s beauty.
People and places fascinate me. As a child, my mother would point out a person and ask me to tell her “their story.” We would sit on a bench and people watch. We would describe “their story.” Where were they rushing off to? Do they have children? What kind of work do they do? What are their joys and problems?
A photo often captures how people live, work, and play. Through a single photograph, we begin to tell a story of a moment that will not happen again.
