A Fascination With Flowers
The flower is the poetry of reproduction. It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life. ~Jean Giraudoux
I find much inspiration in taking closeup photos of flowers. Sometimes I feel like I'm channeling Georgia O'Keefe, the famous artist who was known for her paintings of flowers. I think it started when I did an interpretation of one of O'Keefe's paintings for a drawing class in college.
Another reason why I'm so fascinated with flowers is because they have so many things to teach us about life. For instance, every flower is unique in its own way - as we are - and yet they are all beautiful...every single one of them. There is no such thing as the "perfect" flower because in essence, they are all perfect.
Pictured here are just a few of my latest additions to my flower photo collection...
