Description
"I had been a photographer for over thirty years and I had never taken pictures of flowers, mostly because I had always been a black-and-white photographer and photographing flowers in black-and-white seemed like an insult to the flowers. One of the reasons why I only worked in black-and-white is that I'm red-green colorblind and I've found it difficult to color balance prints in the darkroom. I noticed, though, that with Photoshop, even I could easily color balance images in the computer ... In the summer of 2004 I finally decided I had done enough darkroom work and closed it down ... All pictures were taken in the Grandview community garden, about one square block in size"--From introduction.
