wildflower

I love to see the world through my camera. It gives me focus. Lately I find myself wanting to get closer and closer to what I see cherishing every detail. Flowers are an incredible metaphor for many things in life - they look so different on the surface, but their basic underlying purpose is the same - survival. In these photographs I strive to glorify the detail of these differences and the dance they do with the light that surrounds them. I hope you enjoy my personal vision!
