I see the flora portion of this work taking shape. I work on it about 30 hours a week. Not including research and reading. It’s the best “job” I’ve ever had.
There’s still a lot to do. The weather is so nice here, I struggle between working in the studio and getting out to do so more remote work. I worry about making images on Tava-Kaavi - Sun Mountain (the colonized name is Pikes Peak) or at the Garden of the Gods. I’m not interested in the “chocolate box” photographs. In fact, I’ve had a lot of success staying right here in my backyard so to speak. It’s difficult for me to do "traditional” work. I’ve said it a thousand times, I’m not interested in the standard landscape image. They bore me to death - so tiresome. I need to resolve these issues and making plates is how I resolve the problem. All in time!
