More Than Flowers

Published on by tbeckerphotos3 Comments

Some of you who have been following the past several weeks may think I only photograph flowers.  However, I do photograph more than flowers.  Macro is my passion when it comes to photography and I can usually find something to photograph wherever I am.  Years ago when I first started becoming interested in learning how to shoot close-up, I bought HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH Close-ups in Nature by Nancy Rotenberg and Michael Lustbader.  I was immediately hooked on macro photography.

Unfortunately Nancy is no longer with us.  She passed away in 2011. You can see her photos at Natural Tapestries.  Is that not an incredible name for a website?  She use to teach macro photography on her farm in Pennsylvania.  Being one of her students was something I had dreamed about, but it only remained a dream .   Maybe someday I’ll have my own “farm” and teach macro photography.  That would certainly be a dream come true!

“We must remember to slow down – to take little bites – to savor the pleasure while finding ways to meet the cravings.”  ~ Nancy Rotenberg

A Lady’s Dressing Room

Published on by tbeckerphotos5 Comments

It was still early morning when she was spotted.  Surrounded by green foliage as if in a tropical rain forest, sitting quietly.  A Lady's Dressing RoomWas she ready to start the day?  She would dress in blue velvet like every other day.  The blue velvet iridescent and changing shades of blue as she wandered around.  Maybe she would greet a few visitors today or flutter past without hesitation.  She would feast on watermelon, orange slices and possibly a few grapes.  There would be many tropical plants to check on, as always.  At the end of the day she will retire possibly to where her day started…in A Lady’s Dressing Room.
