They must be

What does it take to make a bunch of new pictures?

I had light coming in from the window.

I had a camera charged and ready, with a macro lens attached.

I had an itchy feeling on the tip of my finger,
the one that goes away only when you press the shutter.

I had everything but an excuse.

What to shoot for no apparent reason?

Just for the sake of it?

And then I saw it!

A bouquet of dried flowers.

Not dead, just lifeless.

Still colourful, still elegant, still lovely.

And I started shooting.

Someone said that macro lenses are portals.

They must be.

How else could I have found myself
in such a delicate and elusive world?

I haven't been around here much lately. It has happened before. It may happen again. For now I try to keep in touch as much as I can. The truth is that hive looks a bit empty lately. I am struggling to find what to vote. Maybe I am too many years here and the people I used to follow are not active any more. I guess some new creators are coming along but I haven't had the time to connect with any of them.

I took those pictures the other day in our workshop. We have already share some of them in our Instagram account and I may also use them in my substack that I started recently.

_{The camera that I used is a Canon EOS 6D mark II with an EF 100mm f2.8/L macro lens attached. I edited the photographs in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic.}

All the pictures and the words are mine.
