Description

We are used to seeing flowers in color. But flowers are equally delightful and some might say even more dramatic when color is stripped away to reveal tones and textures, forms and patterns, the play of light and shadow.
I have long been fascinated by black and white photography. Images become timeless, ageless. Their elegance and character heightened, enhanced.
For me, the beauty, grace and poise of flowers lend themselves to this form of immortalization. Their character is magnified and exalted. Come walk with me. Stroll through the monochrome garden and see the familiar made extraordinary.
