Botanica:
Art of the Possible
The goal of the photographs in this exhibit has been simple…to find and capture the inherent beauty in the things before us.
Some of the process has been experimental, sometimes relying on an awakening view, sometimes using a repetitive but inherently creative process, sometimes being successful with a single shot.
There is nothing here that can’t be done by an enthusiastic photographer-in-waiting. All that’s needed is patience, a willingness to look with a fresh eye, and a desire to find the beauty that surrounds us everywhere.
