Unfurling: Spring-Summer
These images represent transformation, anticipation, and potential. In each, a growing, unfolding leaf or flower is developing with unique character, personality and gesture. As in my own life, the process of unfurling comes with joy, fear, determination, confusion, serenity, and excitement. I photographed the subjects with handheld camera set at low to medium aperture, and with enough distance behind to produce a background without distraction. A little lightening of the corners brings out a feeling of emergence.
