Photos from my studio
Ok - so I'm giving up on trying to organize posts by type of flower - and will just do it by season at least for a while. There are lots of posts with just a few photos lined up - and at the rate I'm going - I may never get enough photos for an entire post dedicated...

In the Victorian language of flowers, Lupins represent the creative arts and imagination. As I created this still life, I was inspired by the enthusiastic women photographers of the 1910's and 1920's, including my grandmother, Evelyn Clara Call. These women...
