Flowers & Plants Showcase

It saddens me to forward the news that our good friend and fellow photographer, Matt Quinn, has passed.
As some of you may know, he had been battling cancer for a while and was on his way to recovery.
Please take a moment to remember him in your prayers.

"Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God." - Leo Buscaglia

I usually try to single out flowers, but for some reason I like this.

I like how the light falls off when you photograph a blossom by using a photocopy machine instead of a camera!
