“ I have been taking pictures for over forty-five years, mostly scenic vistas, water reflections and flowers. Back in the spring and summer of 2003, my wife and I were staying at her family’s century old cottage in the Poconos. The yard and forest were full of blossoming trees and wildflowers and the icing on the cake was my wifes’ crude but lovely flower garden. After trying and failing to do macro photography with my old Canon F-1 of some of the smallest flowers I had ever seen. I thought I would try, as a lark, to digitally scan some fresh picked wildflowers on my Epson scanner directly into the old Power Mac computer that we keep in the mountains. Some of these flowers were as small as one-eighth of an inch in diameter and I liked the effect that I had achieved. To me scanning provides an image that I believe captures the true soul of a flower”
