Until Next Season

September 9, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

100mm low key macro photo of a black-eyed susan flower with shallow depth of field and bokeh.

With autumn coming in quick it is near time to put flower photo season to bed. Here is a late season Black-eyed Susan blossom demure before strong late afternoon light; strong contrast driving home the power of the photograph.

Layers

June 9, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

100mm low key macro photo of a layered peony flower blossom.

Life is layers. Time passes and we add layers to mark our lived experiences—good and bad. Conversely, during our lives we peel back the layers built up by others. This is how relationships build. Peonies depict the concept of layers perfectly. Endless layers make up the big beautiful blossoms as a metaphor for life.

Open Season

35mm low key photo of a peony blossom, bokeh, and whitespace.

To make photography you must make time for photography. With my photo making pace quickened, it’s open season on the great bloom of flowers this spring. Here I bring singular focus to a lone peony photographed in shimmering light, opening its flower petals to the world.

Hats Off

100mm low key macro photo of a string of lily of the valley flowers with smooth bokeh.

Art imitates life, and in my longing for youthful imagination I want to think lily of the valley flowers served as creative impetus for the bowler hat. This is patently ridiculous surely, yet I would love to believe it so. In the meantime I will photograph and I will imagine.

Lilac Boon

35mm low key photo of lilac blossom with its leaves, white space, and bokeh.

Few scents infuse the soul with the richness of lilac. It’s delicious perfume is only matched by the beauty of its floral blossoms. This photograph combines the lilacs appeal to both our sense of sight and smell. It is a gateway to breath and meditation.

The Majestic

100mm macro photograph of hosta flower in low key.

I’m having a pretty great Monday, you guys. I’m burning a welcomed vacation day sitting with my Mac at The Union Market & Gallery—a home away from home. Inches of rain fell this morning but now the south Jersey skies begin to clear. The soggy morning off soon turns to an afternoon of roller coasters […]

Flowered Sun

July 27, 2018 by Greg Molyneux

100mm black and white macro photo of echinacea.

Looking close and slow upon a flower is a practice in patience with which all should partake. Particularly true to heal closed hearts and open stagnant minds. It is both window to the soul and outlet to the universe and it unveils the underpinnings of nature’s truth. Take this nascent echinacea blossom. Still early in […]

Bright Spot

June 28, 2018 by Greg Molyneux

White daisy blossoms photographed at 35mm in low key vertical orientation.

Flowers are but a bright spot in an otherwise darkening world. Acrimony, callousness, cynicism, and flagrant distrust envelope our better judgement as a plague. As corrosive distrust and patent injustice unfolds so too do the flowers. Impartial and ignorant to our schemes and machinations, spreading beauty with their grace. Too bad it not up to […]
