On Friday, my husband and I celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary and my gorgeous hubby bought me a bunch of beautiful peach roses. Now, any non-artistic person would just shove them in a vase and admire them but artists cannot resist the opportunity to photograph,paint or sketch the flowers and that’s exactly what I [...]
Wired.com asked their subscribers to explore the tiny, overlooked universes that surround us … and blow them up. “Turn your toothbrush bristles into a nylon forest, tree bark into the Grand Canyon, or your juicy steak into some gristly, alien terrain.

I have always loved dragonflies but have never been able to get up-close & personal with them until I started photographing them using a macro lens.
