About Me

My name is Michael Morris, I am a photographer who came to photography later in life.  I started with digital and found it unrewarding so after a short time with MF, I moved to LF 4X5.  Almost everything I do now is large format B&W.  I am working to improve my technical and artistic skills constantly.  Living in Phoenix, I have access to some very good photographers who are willing to help and teach.  I am on a journey exploring photography, the US, and myself to some extent.  Along with my wife Mary, we are traveling the US together, cameras follow us everywhere and as we travel, this BLOG is updated.  It is very much a journal of my journey with ramblings about everything from the photograph I took while traveling, to the ah-ha moments when something new is grasped.

The old masters work is enthralling to me and I spend a lot of time looking at their work as well as most other work I have access to.

Florals, Florals, Florals

DateWednesday, February 24, 2010 at 8:51AM

Yeas, I have been doing florals again.  I love florals, at one time I thought they had to be in color, then I discovered they are just as wonderful in B&W.  The character is different but I really appreciate both.

We did our weekly shopping on Saturday and as we walked past the flowers in Costco I stopped to admire them and to try to envision them as prints.  The florist there asked what I needed flowers for and I told her photographs.  she began talking about the different colors and how they would work in a photo.  I informed her that I shoot in B&Wand before she could stop herself she blurted out "then why photograph flowers".  I had to chuckle because I once felt the same way.

So I bought a bouquet with some different types.  Those had been grabbing my attention every time we went to Costco anyway so now I have tried them.  These were shot on 4X5, I hope to do some 8X10 today.
