Did I mention the wild marigolds in Oaxaca?

Whether on the street or in the garden, the goal is to capture what can not be easily percieved. Sometimes it requires a keen sense of human observation while at other times a mere exploiting of the differences between the camera and the human eye. In all cases, it requires judgement – a highly critical evaluation of what makes the subject interesting to observe. For street photography it is about discerning the perfect moment in time with gesture and composition. With images like these flower macros, it is about finding an element elevating it to the point where it cannot be taken for granted.
How do you like your flowers?
I love shooting iris with their sensual curves and mocking tongue. I like them sharp and stead, soft and dreamy, and full of motion.

Maybe you prefer a field of yellow?
