Closeup of the mosaic pattern of the wing cut from pieces of porcelain tile. The base of the entire dragonfly was cut from pieces of granite then the porcelain pieces were glued on mesh then thinset on the granite to provide a good base for weather conditions.
While I was shooting that cactus flower in the hot house at the botanical gardens, kneeling in a plant bed, I hear from behind me, "Don't bother that nice man, honey." I look up to see this child about a foot away from me. I smile at him and he says, "Hi!"
"Hi!" I reply. "How are you today?"
"Okay. What's that?"
"That's called a 'tripod'. My camera can attach right up here."
"What's that?" he asks, pointing to another place.
"That's my camera bag. All my equipment is in there."
"What's that?"
"That's a big lens in it's case."
"What's that?"
"That's a strap to hold the lens to the bag. Hey. How about I take your picture, huh?" I look up at his mother and ask if it's okay. Since I had my close-up lenses on I made him practically stick his nose into my lens.
Of course the first thing I noticed about this child was the pattern of stuff on his face. He must have pressed up against something dirty with a texture of some sort. I left the snot and scab and all the rest unretouched as well. Why not?
