I'm a city girl who lives out in the country now. I can't imagine my life without photography. I have always been interested in photos and photo taking. I take special orders for prints of most of my photos. I also love to make gift packages of notecards. If you have any questions don't hesitate to email me :) Thanks for stopping by!

****Lauren Miller took all of these photographs. They are all copyrighted to her. Please do not use any of her photographs without her permission this includes blogging and anything else you want to use them for. She finds it flattering when someone is interested in one of her photos so please just ask her! Lauren makes her living by photography so do not take that away from her.

Lauren's ability to amplify microscopic detail and tell a story about it is thought provoking and pleasantly unusual. Thank you, Lauren, for your contributions. You make the world a better place."

"Going through Lauren's photostream is like a wonderful 3D journey ~ she's got a "rockin' macro lens," and the girl knows how to use it! I also love her East Texas views....as well as her friendship and her great Zen Vibe! Everyone should out Happy Zen Friday!"

"Lauren's photography is excellent!!!! She has an extraordinary gift of bringing out textures and colors in objects or creatures that many people would not think to photograph. She explores nature beautifully in macro form! And she also shares her life and her pug in pictures. I always look forward to seeing what Lauren has captured. Last, but certainly not least, she is a warm, caring and slightly quirky (in a good way) friend!"

"ZML is a flickr rock star! If not for her photos I never would have become flickr-ized. Always inspirational! Always a must to check out her latest photos!

It's her macro-verse...we all just live in it."

"Lauren is always upbeat and a blast to share comments with on photos. She puts up with my awful attempts to make jokes too!!

Oh yeah her photos: For whatever reason Lauren has become a macro fanatic. She sees much of the world close up and finds intriguing and interesting things to share from her perspective of the world we all live in.

If you find a Texan on her knees exploring the ground with her camera, odds are its Lauren. Our treat is that she posts her results for us to see!!!"

"zenmasterlauren (Lauren) is one of the most important people in my Flickr world. She is nearly half my age, but probably knows twice as much as I do in so many different aspects of life, photography as an art, and serenity. She teaches a new truth to me: photography as art. I look at the world differently since I have been honored with her friendship. I now see a whole new universe or better yet diverse universes, not only the one in the sky but many that are almost not visible to my eyes. I thank her for opening my eyes to these new universes, because I may have missed them without her in my life. Gratitude to you, Zenmaster; with a deep and humble bow."

She has the most amazing collections of images, must check out her LOMO and MACRO sets, WOW, nothing like it. This lady could be a professional photographer in a second her talent exceeds no bounds. Flickr and the world is a better place with Lauren in it. =)"

"William Thackeray said " The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face" ......Zenmasterlauren has given each of us the gift of this reflection. She thrills us with reality that most people overlook. Moments overlooked are grasped by the lense of her beloved LOMO and shared with us. Her images reflect her soul. Perfection, Lauren, perfection."
