Whispers in the Dark

April 7, 2020 by Greg Molyneux

The exceptional thing about living through history is having, if only in a small way, the rare chance to shape it.

Small acts when executed across communities and continents affect real change in response to an entirely new environment.

Jane Says

Single Jane Magnolia bud photographed in macro at 100mm focal length.

High key black and white macro photo of a dying jane magnolia blossom looking like a hooded wizard

This is the second time I’ve dipped into the well of anthropomorphizing flowers in a high key macro photograph. While two times does not a trend make, I have a pseudo third example if you take the time my mid-bloom maple conjured thoughts of dragons—to be fair it was Game of Thrones time. For me […]

Such is Life

Macro photograph of a dead Jane Magnolia blossom

Unwelcome cold has crashed the Mid-Atlantic early spring party and brought its unsociable below freezing friends with it.

Out of focus high key photograph of a jane magnolia bud

I’ve been chewing on out of focus photography for a while now—and by a while now I mean well over a year, and by out of focus photography I mean pictures that are deliberately rendered focus out, in absence of sharpness and clarity. Now I am not ready to declare this here photo the start […]

A demure magnolia named Jane

May 2, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A vibrant macro photograph of a single jane magnolia blossom with a shallow depth of field and selective focus on the pistils.

My side yard where the back meets the front features a fence gate, a forsythia, some tiger lillies and one modest Jane magnolia. It’s taken a beating in recent years—it simply has not responded well to its transplant two years back. After a complete bust of bloom last Spring my magnolia bush appears to be […]
