I was accepted into a show. The 2021 Secura Fine Arts Exhibition at the Trout Museum in Appleton. That was nice. 354 applicants, 117 accepted with 130 works. Cindy got in as well.
In theory, cameras capture reality, but in actuality they can show us familiar subjects in ways we can't see with our eyes. I explore the ways that depth of field, focusing, cropping and focal length can show us familiar subjects in ways we haven't seen before. I am fascinated by the sublime abstract art hidden in simple flowers, unleashed by the macro lens. My macro photos use only minimal post-processing to retain an element of realism in an otherwise alien landscape. Similarly, the images are titled for the names of the flowers to help the viewer orient, while highlighting the difference between their perceptions and the lens's.
Cindy got into the show with the one I posted a few weeks ago...
