Blackberry Branch with Fruit - Macro photograph of black and red blackberries clustered on its branch. The blackberries are at various stages of ripeness and glittering in the natural daylight. The lush dark colors create a ridge composition.
Imagine yourself walking in the forrest and on your walk you see those lush blackberries. They are natures candy and a welcome sight. The blackberries are on eye level looking inviting and healthy. You mind starts wondering to that delicious jelly you made last year and the pies long gone. Or perhaps memories of that special someone who would make such delicacies for just you to spoil you.
Macro photography allows me to get close and intimate with my subject matter. It shows the beauty easily overlooked due to our busy lifestyles. My artwork gives the viewer a sense of calm, peace, and relaxation. A reprieve from daily stresses.
