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.

A time lapse macro video of moss “drinking” water over a 5-hour period (approximately 300 captures).

I had an old mix of green ink that was perfect for what I was hoping to portray for this piece. Typically I would use this color to indicate life or growth, but in this case, it was a better indicator for the toxic energy that I find myself dealing with from time to time.
