I am a botanist. During graduate school I was able to travel quite a bit around North America, Europe, South America, and South Africa, to collect plants and attend meetings. And then there were the vacations with my travel-holic husband ...Posted here on flickr are just a few of the pictures I have taken in some of these places:
I'm mainly interested in obtaining "documentary" images of plants, places, and other experiences. When not of obscure plants, my photos tend to be total clichès and unremarkable snapshots. Actually, even when they are of obscure plants, they are probably total clichès and unremarkable snapshots. I almost never take photos with people in them. I prefer cameras that fit in my pocket, but nonetheless look for inspiration and tips for obtaining more informative or technically and artistically better images. Thanks for looking, and please accept my apologies for getting all pedantic on your plant photo or discussion thread (which is probably what led you to read my profile).
I post my images on flickr with CC licensing with the intention that they be free for anyone to use, for any non-commercial purpose. I mostly photograph nature, after all, which does not belong to me or to anyone. I only ask that I receive due credit, and that I be informed of such use.
