Flowers & Plants
Flowers and plants seen a little differently—through light, shadow, shape, and texture. I am drawn to the character I find in them, from a flower just beginning to open to one beginning to fade. These photographs are less about identifying the plant and more about seeing the beauty and personality I find within it.

The Myrtle Spurge as an open bloom. The leaves spread outward, allowing the small buds to open and show their inner selves. I love the way the dark surroundings bring attention to the delicate shapes and the unfolding structure of the plant.
