every once in awhile i return to my photographic roots. when i was a kid, i would take photographs of flowers. i would get as close as my lens would allow me to focus but it being a standard 50mm lens – that would allow me to get about 2 feet away leaving the flower a tiny little thing in a giant frame. i wanted to get right on top of it, but couldn’t.
nowadays, i have much better equipment and I can pretty much get as close as i darn well please. it’s really a bummer when your gear doesn’t allow you to do what you want it to do. that little thought has allowed me to rationalize spending money on just about anything equipment wise. drives my accountant nuts. i figure if it helps me get one kick-ass picture, it’s worth it.
these are from the welcome home bouquet my kids put together for their mother.
