Found this leaf in a parking lot and was impressed by the red hue of the front side and the bright red veins against the pale red of the reverse. I decided to create a diptych showing both sides. I think the final result is equal parts clinical and artistic, celebration and autopsy.I'm about finished with the leaf photos. Last evening, I set up a small tabletop studio in my basement (the garage is getting too cold to work in), grabbed some seashells and a bag of sand, and recreated some close up beach scenery.
Dude.

ReplyDeletelasiate,
ReplyDeleteA photographer that I once worked with had a saying, "Simple photos are best!" That's an ideal I have taken to heart. Thank you for vising and for your comment.
Great leaf study!
ReplyDeleteI've looked at clouds from both sides now, and now I'm looking a leaves from both sides... Nice on both counts :)
ReplyDeleteFascinating idea. The leaf's opposite sides contrast each other nicely. Very creative.
