I originally wanted a California poppy, but to avoid lame opium references and because I couldn't find one easily at Victory Tattoo, I went with the simple calla lily, which I love too.
There are 6 Calla plants in my wintergarden with 9 flowers alltogether at this moment. It is so nice that these funny plants make flowers in winter time!
Of my two calla lily shots, I finally decided I liked this one better. Let me know if you disagree. I just thought this was a little more interesting composition, even though I really like the profile shot against the sky too. I just like the curl of this one and the detail.
I am giving a Basic Botanical Drawing Course. It is three Saturdays in the Nature museum in Leeuwarden. And the drawings are all made by using graphite pencils. Yesterday was the second lesson. My students had to draw flowers. I brought a whole variety of flowers. Also Calla Lilies. I decided to start a drawing too. But I had to do a lot of walking around and helping the students. So today I finished the Calla.
The height of the Calla is about 30 cm.

Happy Valentines Day! I hope you get lots of love from the people in your life today.
Back in September I was lucky enough to have my Through the Viewfinder photography featured on an episode of KQED's QUEST. It's a half hour show about science, the environment and nature that airs on San Francisco's Public Television station. The entire experience was extremely educational and lots of fun.
They're accepting submissions from Northern California photographers for an episode that's airing May 20, 2008. To find out how your work might be featured, go to the QUEST flickr group.
This really is quite cool - check it out!
Listening to Dimming Of The Day - The Five Blind Boys Of Alabama(Beat The Retreat: Songs By Richard Thompson)
Playing around with the new gear, shot this at 800ISO with the Pentax K-01 and 40mm XS @ f2.8 and 1/40 sec
Believe it or not, this was shot on the street in ambient filtered sunlight. My new favorite studio lighting technique is a black leather jacket draped behind my subject--voila! Instant studio.
Calla Lilies come in many colors. Native to South Africa. Call Lily represents Purity, Respect, and Divine Love.
