I am always experimenting with my photos, and trying to find ways to make them more interesting. I guess I see the flowers, especially, as beautiful things that I can bring to a different level or place. This is hard for me to show to people, and I often think it is boring or tiresome to others to look at - maybe too repetitive. Ok in small doses, but not all the time? On to something different, maybe? Let me know what you think, anyone out there... Maybe I will post some of my abstract painting… Continue
