Failing Concepts?

I’m just now catching up on a bunch of content to share on the blog.  This group of images is the beginning of a larger series, titled as a question “Failing Concepts?.”  I shot this series while getting lost (intentionally) on a recent trip to Texas, except for the last image, which is the 35W [...]

Macro Photography at the Como Conservatory

Hey Gang,
Here are some flower shots from the Como Conservatory. They’re fairly abstract, which gives us a difference experience than we’re used to having with flowers. I was working primarily with color and then space and shape. I’d love to hear which you prefer.
These were shot hand held using a Canon 100mm [...]

Como Conservatory Multiple Exposure

I spent quite a bit of time shooting, and [...]
