First Flower Photos of 2008
I have been exploring and got some rather striking photos of roses which I’ll post on here soon
My Photography Style – Georgia O’Keefe – Flowers & Friends
Even before I knew who she was, I was “up close and personal” with my photography. I have to thank my mentor, Phil (may he rest in peace) for introducing me to the macro world back in the ’80s when I made the move back to the film SLR world. As an inexpensive way of getting into macro without investing in the lenses, he suggested that I purchase the macro filter set which I began playing with.
In the late ’90s, I got involved in the Childrens’ Rights Council. When I moved to Virginia, I was battling seeing and being involved in my daughters’ lives (that door will stay closed). One of the leaders of that organization at that time looked at my photos and made the announcement “You’re the Georgia O’Keefe of photography!”
Well I was rather honored by his statement and even moreso when I explored who this person was. I’ve posted a favorite image of this noted artist who’s husband was a photographer. I’ve also dug out the photo that gave me the distinction by that Childrens’ Rights Council person. You’ll find the “glad” photo below…
Macro photography is fun and opens up many new worlds that most people never see…
“one must make time to see.”
