Take a piece of fruit, flower, sprig, clump of dirt and follow the life cycle. Life is an ever changing, shifting palette of creativity.

Putting life in black and white adding a bit of tonality with Photoshop filters, equalising all by size and density so that all that is left is the stark dark image - bare in its honesty.

I have lain in the dirt, under bushes and in trees all my life trying to get closer to this cycle of life - from birth through life to death which in organic terms means mulch, compost fertilising future generations.

Photography is a wondrous medium to capture reality, hyper-reality even. My vision is generally dark and brooding a bit like the grubs in generous earth but for all that beauty in it's life cycle!

As Patrick Heathcock says "See the beauty!"
