Cattail Meditations
Bloomville, NY - GGP - Thursday, December 8th, 2005 : goo
Browsing articles by Ggp - [previous] :: [next]
A few weeks ago, the combination of wind, shortening days, and cooling weather began to take their toll on the local cattails. Their bodies are so evocative to me; even more so as the tassels come unloosed and the cattails "let their hair down."
These unique and pleasing textures inspired me to do some tweaking in photoshop for a trippier botanical effect.
When I was a kid, I thought botany was about as boring as you could get. The older I get--the more tree-like, I suppose--the more I appreciate the astonishing quality of the plant world: the biology, the reproductive creativity, the aesthetics.

looking at the last two photoshopped images, reminds me of john updike.
