Sparaxis (monochrome), 3.28.19

Some friends of mine are in a Black & White Photography show featuring the works of Jerry Bosworth, but also including works by David Hoffman, Franka Gabler, Cathy McCrery Cordle, G Dan Mitchell, and Jonathan Bock. Thus, the monochrome image above by yours truly. I may never get in a show, but I can share others’ shows and toss in something that corresponds to the show, right? Works for me! (**I am NOT upset that I am not in shows. I don’t pursue them. It’s my own fault. I don’t attempt to get into juried shows either. I’m just not good at that stuff at this point in my life.)

I will be a at the reception and I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve seen some of the work and it is outstanding!

On my walk today I ran across lilies I’d never seen. I stopped to shoot them and the homeowner saw me and chatted a bit. She said they were “Brazilian lilies” which I’ve now found isn’t correct. They are, instead, called Peruvian daffodils or basketflower. In any case, it was totally new to me!

This is primarily a record shot: I will have to return someday and figure out just how I can capture this in an artistic way. I think the macro lens is not the answer.
