Macro Photography

The art of anticipation. During a trip for my son's cricket tournament in Queensland, we were staying in a stunning house with beautiful weather just down the road from the beach. Birds of paradise adorned the lounge, and for three days, I fixated on them before I finally found the time between cricket matches to pick up the vase and photograph them. I took my time and relaxed into the task while listening to the waves in the distance. My most treasured photos emerge from a compulsive desire to delve into the intricacies of flowers. The longing to immerse myself in the hues and forms of the petals is irresistible. Like plunging into water, I submerge myself in the realms nestled between the petals. During those moments, the flowers encompass everything; nothing else matters, nothing else exists. For that brief time, the flowers are the entirety of my world.
