Now that the South Dakota Library Challenge is over, I plan to use this blog for what I originally intended: a place to showcase my art and photography. Right now, I'm in graduate school so I don't have a lot of time to create new pieces, but I have lots of existing work so I will start with that. I hope that in doing this blog I will be able to share some of my work with people who appreciate it, and also give me motivation to keep producing new work, to keep it a priority in mylife.
This photograph of a flower was taken at McCrory Gardens in Brookings, SD. It is one of my favorites because of the way the sun lights it up. This was a beautiful day for taking pictures, hot with nice bright sun. Sometimes bright sun like that makes photography more difficult because of the harsh shadows, but in this case it had a lovely effect. I love the way you can see the veins in the petals, and the petal appear to be tissue thin and so fragile. This is one that I really like more and more every time I see it, and I hope others who see it enjoy it as well.
