These picture were made of plants growing within a few feet of our Villa, thanks to my wife for planting them.  I capture views of the flowers, etc. so as to have something to experiment on.  I like processing them differently just to see how they look.  I prefer experimenting and playing around with images like these rather than capturing realistic, “pretty” pictures of birds, etc.

Working on this style started when I first read an article by Leslie Gleim about using a close-up conversion lens to capture sections and pieces of flowers.  Take a look at some of Leslie’s work on Instagram.
