Still Life

« Flower's spirit »

Once upon a time, I was a young boy and lived at Brazzaville (Congo). Each rainy season filled the garden with hundreds of flowers. I was a little kid interested by every natural thing and I used to look, cut, plant, mix, etc. Now, Flowers leave me a feeling of well being.

When I photograph these flowers, I feel this spirit again: I just want to see all the details of the flowers and appreciate the beauty and technical skill of Mother Nature.

Like I often say, only a large camera can capture the finest details of nature. The way to work with a large camera; slowly and carefully, remind me the time I felt observing flowers and bugs. By the way, contact printing on platinum palladium paper for keeping all these tones and details was a clearness of fact.
