Floral Favorites
When first I started my interest in photography, flowers were often the subjects I was most attracted to. Later my interests expanded to more lively subjects, yet still occasionally, I find myself captivated by the beauty of a lily or a other budding plant. I like to think that today, when I capture a floral image, my eye seeks a perspective I might have overlooked in the past.
