My macrophotography. Lots of bugs -- flowers, water and other things if I can't find fauna. (Click on a photo to enlarge, click again for an even greater enlargement.)
Well this made me think. :) I do like taking pictures of people, but I feel so awkward asking permission. I felt least awkward in China -- probably because everyone was taking pictures of us too! (If you want to see the China pictures, they're mostly on my other blog Wave, Tree and Bloom.
I have so many beautiful pictures of children -- schoolmates of my own kids, but I'm always nervous about talking to parents. I feel like a stalker.
Maybe I should suck it up and print out some cards and a stack of model release forms. ;)
On the other hand, it's not just avoidance that has me running for the bugs and flowers. I enjoy the alien-ness of bugs. An exoskeleton, I mean, wow, just that is plain weird.
Flowers and plants (and fungus for that matter) are overlooked by many people, especially the historical or scientific details. I feel like Hercules Poirot noticing what most people don't even register.
So many amazing ways of living, so many forms of life that are so taken for granted, ignored and/or reviled. I feel like a pioneer or adventurer, just crawling around in my backyard. I spend about half the time researching the things of which I've taken pictures.
I'm a mom of three incredible children. I also do quilting, photography, math geek stuff, computer wrangling, origami, and entomology-arachnology geek stuff.

very nice pictures. You capture the angels really well. What interests you to focus on insects and bug etc but not human or buildings?
