The quote used today is from the book A Painter’s Garden (Cultivating the Creative Life) by Christine Walker. I used to have this book prior to the fire and was thrilled to find another copy of it on Amazon which arrived today. At the time the author wrote the book she was living in Sebastopol, CA, which was close to Santa Rosa where I used to live. The rose tree is in my backyard cottage garden and is called “Sexy Rexy.”
I used the Spin-Zoom technique for a different POV for a rose shot. I love how each photo is so different every time this technique is used. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
