My last upload was all about trying something new, inspired by others I admire. This is no exception.
Just last year I messaged a photographer through Facebook, telling her I really admired her beautiful macro work. I was really surprised when she told me to come over and have a go at it myself.
So off I went. I don't consider myself a macro photographer at all but after she pointed me in the right direction, she just let me experiment and do my own thing, with this as (one of the) results. And she really got me enthusiastic about the beauty of the 'little world' out there.
When I thanked her for her time and guidance she told me that she was glad to be able to return the favor. It turned out that a year before, me and my friend had taken her out on a canoe trip in the Gambia, when the rest of her (all male) group had all paired up and left her out. Goes to show that a little kindness goes a long way...
