Red Bud Gold is from my series Adrift. When photographing outdoors in natural light, nature and I are partners in designing the composition. I secure plants in gentle brooks to create what seems a contradiction-still life in moving water. My botanic elements drift with the wind and currents. They shift in and out of focus as the water curls around sharp edges. Dancing in the brook is a world of rapidly changing patterns with dramatic flashes of brilliant color.
