I always find inspiration by looking at shapes in nature, which is something I did a great deal of over the past week Upstate. While I can’t stand the idea of stunting a great moment with the constant urge to document (imho there is a lot more to be see and experience when you’re not focused on taking pictures), Sometimes, I take texture shots like these to preserve the idea and amazement that I had while I was so focused on what was in front of me…
The plants in the shot up top had such great sculptural depth and energy – lush! You could just feel the cool air coming off of them. The bottom shot is of lichens on wood after a heavy rain….like a gorgeous ceramic glaze. Aren’t the pops of acid yellow great against that ebony?
