I love the worlds I discover in flowers, and the imaginings they inspire in me. It never amazes me how I can walk down a sidewalk I have dozens and dozens of times before, but on this day I have a camera that allows me to get into this abstract world of color found in a flower bed no higher than my ankles. This is how I found the purple flower on a sunny day while we were out taking Owen for a walk. While he was off running through the grass playing in worlds open only to the perspective of a 17 month old, I was discovering those allowed me by the reversed lenses on my Pentax 6x7. If there is any aspect of photography I like the most, it is this. The ability to see in ways that normal human vision cannot. To see things, that normally cannot be seen. Or in ways that cannot. This ability of cameras and lenses constantly blows my mind.
