The Magic of Macros

For years now my gardens have been my blank canvas. It's a never ending work in progress and always full of surprises.

I love photographing the flowers and have many times used them in my graphic art. One of my favorite approaches is to go into the garden after a rain and take some macro shots. It's amazing when you see the perfection of simple flowers and sometimes weeds this way.

Take time to smell... and macro the flowers!

My Backyard - A pictorial by Pat Peters

For those of you in the area, there is a reception for Pat Peters this Saturday, 12:00pm - 2pm at the Ellenville Public Library Museum, 40 Center St., Ellenville, N.Y. where they are featuring canvas prints of her photography.  I've seen the exhibit and it's breathtaking both in composition, execution and color. Pat is from Cragsmoor in New York and her work is centered around the surrounding landscape, views from the Shawangunk Mountains, historical buildings and an intimate look at nature. I hope you will be able to attend the reception for Pat, you won't be disappointed. If you can't attend, stop by the library now through September 1st to see the exhibit.
