The irony of receiving more meaningful engagement from a machine than from human followers on social media.

I took nearly a year off from creating artwork to focus my efforts on learning more about photography. In a nutshell, this is what I’ve learned so far.

A couple of baby earthworms just doing their thing (accompanied by a binaural/528Hz “happiness” ambient background tune). Watching the blood pulse through their skin is so mesmerizing.

I have a grow light that automatically turns on for me each morning. The light alternates from blue to red, which casts a neon purple glow on everything I shoot (unless I use a flash) which make for some interesting effects.

I found this little worm (not sure of the species) crawling around my moss and Venus Flytrap plants this morning.

A little wet and fighting the cold this morning, I ignored work for a few minutes and rushed out to take some snapshots of my pussy willow trees which had just started to bloom.

As a way to help me on my path deeper into macro photography, I brought some moss in from the cold and have been watching and caring for it daily. It’s fascinating stuff to observe.

As I venture down the rabbit hole of macro photography, one of the neatest subjects has been a dead mosquito that I pulled from a web in my basement.
