Description: This impressive book is richly illustrated with 91 gorgeous macro photographs--of flowers, and also some of their pollinators--by John Rodrigues, an artist who has taken that time to truly see.
We invite you to sit back, maybe with a cup of hot Chamomile tea, and indulge in these images--taking the time to truly see these flowers, and to appreciate their inherent majesty.
John Rodrigues takes an old lens and new camera and gives us a new look at an old photographic subject.Brief description: Stephen Buchmann is a pollination ecologist specializing in bees.
