pixels, light and hot wax

The still-needs-an-evocative-title body of work I’m concentrating on currently develops apace.

Finally, back on the Photo Friday bus; these are from a walk last week with my youngest:

Our grocery store had local tulips on special, which seemed an obvious sign for what I should shoot next for the upcoming show in May.

This was a much more difficult edit for me — these five are my favorite at the moment, but I went ahead and ordered small prints of about 40 for real decision making purposes before I commit to large scale metallic prints.

Images from another shoot, this time with a different kind of red-and-yellow tulip and also a white-and-pink tulip, are downloading as I type.

(well, final shot from Monday morning’s encounter. There is a lot to explore in this flower.)

I thought that perhaps you might like to see the whole bloom, after seeing so many little parts.

My sweethearts went out the other day, and I asked them to bring me home a flower.

Today, in between laundry folding, I spent a little quality time with it, and this is the first obvious keeper (pretty much straight from raw, no fine printing yet.)
