This has been a spring for watching my garden grow, and enjoying the beautiful shapes and colors that nature creates. It has been my great pleasure to tend the garden. This is a practice that is one part patient labor, one part meditation, and one part inspiration. The practice of gardening yields great subject matter for my photography: in the garden, on the light box, and in the studio.
The world at large can be wondrous and magical, and I am fully at home as a pilgrim in the world. But astoundingly there is as much magic and whimsy in the near-at-hand, in my garden flowers, twigs, and other botanical ephemera.
I am enjoying at this time in the world not engaging too much beyond the borders of “my country” (within our garden gate). Next year, who knows?

4 Apr 2026Hi Harold! I discovered you a few months ago when I got into flower photography than light pad photography. I love your videos (and Phyllis is great too!) and have learned so much and bought a light tracing pad and have been practicing. Do you know if there is a forum or a fb group for light box/pad photography? I have searched and cannot find one. I would love to learn from others and show our work! Thanks! Maureen in Boston
