Arizona Treks

These days it seems my imagination is captured by flowers, it could be the season, it could be that it is less practical to go anywhere, it cold be simply that I love florals and and am going through a phase that florals dominate my vision.  For whatever reason, I seem to have a lot of florals recently.  

On Sunday as Mary and I were doing our weekly grocery shopping I walked past a potted plant in the grocery and it grabbed my attention.  I got lost in the simplistic beauty of this plant and stood looking at it for a while, as Mary started the shopping.  Many different possibilities were evident and the images were flying about in my head.  When I finally caught up with Mary I told her I was going to buy the plant.  As we were finishing I went back and it was still speaking to me so it was adopted.

Last night I set up the lights and 8X10 and began shooting.  This also served to help me get more familiar with the Adox film.  Out of the 4 negatives, this one is my favorite but all are quite nice.  I am seriously considering shooting some 4X5 this morning.
