I recently submitted a project to Lenswork magazine’s Seeing in Sixes book project. It was not selected for publication. So I decided to share the photos with you today rather than just having the project sitting on my hard drive. The idea behind the Seeing in Sixes book is for photographers to create a series of six photographs that make up a project.
As I selected the photos for the project, I realized how often I was creating images that are more abstract than many of my previous photos. To me, these photographs are more about color, texture, and shape than about a specific type of flower. Since submitting the project to Lenswork, I’ve continued creating images in this series that I’m sure I’ll be sharing with you in the future.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy seeing my Unfolding Worlds: Revelations in Colors project.
” When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else.” – Georgia O’Keeffe
