A few weeks ago I biked to Fort Sheridan on a chilly and overcast day. The rolling
hills of sandy prairie grass contrasted the wall of warm autumn trees, and a few white
birch trees were buried in the colorful canopy. Since my only lens was a telephoto,
most of my shots were uncomfortably narrow.
Plants make for interesting subjects, especially when singled out from a mass or utilized
as an element in a simplistic design. When crammed into a frame, their organic form
and diverse textures/heights/hues/shapes create a world separate from the one we live
in--natural and yet unfamiliar.
