Photographer: Kim Farrell, Vashon, Washington Image Title: Anemone Category: Plants   Technical Details: Nikon N70, Nikon 28-105/Macro lens, Kodak Ektachrome VS film, f/5.6 at 1/40 second Location: Vashon, Washington Description: Also known as 'Windflowers,' the Anemone's deep blue evolves into everchanging shades of indigo during its bloom, inviting photographing this calming flower time and again. The colors, like the garden, are especially meditative.   My style tends to be spontaneous, because the optimal moment of light and deep, saturated color are often so brief. I often carry my camera while weeding, capturing life and light wile I can!     As a freelance photographer, the chameleon nature of Pacific Northwest light has me frequently reaching for the camera. Looking through the lens helps direct my attention to the timeless and uncontained beauty of the world. Focusing on color and textures invites exploration into the inner world of flowers, plants, faces, windows, and then unfolds upon the greater domain of people, cultures and landscapes. But it's the play of light, in the mountains or in the garden, which can transform any scene.   Travels have led into the wilderness areas of the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, Minnesota and Montana; Europe; Egypt; India; Nepal; Thailand; Malaysia; and Australia. Publications include Nature's Best and British Heritage magazines. Gallery shows include The Blue Heron Gallery (running concurrently with this show); Café Luna; and Bailey Boushay House.   More of my images are viewable on my web site.   Kim Farrell Phone: 206-567-0010 E-mail: Kim@LightImagination.com Web: www.LightImagination.com   Return to 2003 Galleries | Return to 2003 Plants Gallery     Home | Contact Us | Copyright
