What a Perfect Art Piece for Summer with Lotus Flower - Los Angeles Fine Art Photography

As I've said time and again, spring is one of my favorite seasons to photograph nature.  While summer presents fewer opportunities, I would not give up a chance to capture the most elegant flower for summer - lotus flower.

What could have cooled you off other than the delicate texture and the pastel colors of a lotus flower?

This image would have been a beautiful addition to your living room as a canvas gallery wrap as well.  For additional fine art photography samples, please visit here.  To explore home decoration ideas with my photography, please contact me.

The sign of any fresh start is exciting - Los Angeles Photographer

I'm a big believer in maximizing the utility of anything before putting it back to the environment.  Needless to say, I recycle papers and reuse plastic bags, etc.  Once in a while, when I use vegetables in the kitchen, I'd imagine the possibilities of growing them in my garden.  Therefore, I save seeds.

The other day, I remembered some that I kept since last year.  Not thinking much of the season, I planted them and was instantly rewarded with the nice little faces of these sprouts.  How cute they are (remember, I'm a photographer that sees cuteness or beauty in most anything)?  

Do I remember what I planted?  No.  Would I worry if I'd get fruits from them?  Not really, although it'll be nice.  I don't worry about the end results as much as I want to enjoy the process and make sure to put in the due effort (Hey, I "single-handedly" brought these lives into this world.  I'd need to be responsible.).  With anything, I believe that if I do enough of right things, the positive energy will go around and eventually come as rewards as I least expect it.

What do you think?  Would love to hear your thoughts.

P.S. I am curious though how this plant will turn out to be.  I know it's a squash type.  So, would it be a pumpkin, a cucumber, a winter melon or something else that I happened to stash the seeds away last year?  Anybody with a green thumb can tell? :-)

What Part of History Did This Image Capture? - Los Angeles Fine Art Photographer

I guess weโ€™d all agree that at the flickering of shutter, one split second of history is captured.  As I was processing one image taken at the village of Hongcun, China, one with a history of 900 years, my initial intention was to present to my audience a historical setting where life carried on in those hundreds-year old houses, around the water.  Yet, interestingly, the same life still goes on in the same buildings by the same (amazingly unpolluted) water.  So, which part of history did this image capture?  The one that was lived through by our ancestors?  Or the one that we are living now?
