Dahlia

October 4, 2019 by Claiborne Ashby

I take a lot of flower photos. Some of them bore me in camera, so I don’t finish them. Others I like, but they just don’t work in post-processing. Every now and then there is one that thrills me the whole way through. This dahlia is one of those. It …

I’m of the opinion that an image isn’t finished until I’m decently happy with the printed version. This poppy started out yellow and ended up black and white because the colors simply wouldn’t print well. I finally gave up and realized black and …

Irises

April 18, 2019 by Claiborne Ashby

I de-petaled these irises before I photographed them. I like to think of this as floral sculpting, but I wonder if the flowers agree. They’re already cut, so probably. It seems possible though that one day, when we have a more refined sense of floral …

Gerbera Daisies

October 10, 2018 by Claiborne Ashby

Daisies are a symbol of cheerfulness. They look up at us with their sunny faces and offer us a physical reminder of brightness and positivity. I don’t think they want us to force a smile and soldier on through life. I think they encourage us to …

This was inspired by a fish drawing she made for me during the pandemic. She described it as a place where everyone is happy 🥲💗

My sister asked me to make an animal for her birth My sister asked me to make an animal for her birthday. I picked hummingbird. She told me her favorite color combination - orange + blue-green. The result, I think, is a tiny message of joy. ~May she find joy in unexpected places 🧡

P.S. There is an actual species of hummingbird that wears rainbow colors. O to V from tail to head 🤩

This is the most inspiring and inspired climate ch This is the most inspiring and inspired climate change discussion I've ever read. According to the author, it's completely doable to restore our climate to pre-industrial CO2 levels by 2050. (Of course, we need to reach net zero emissions, too.) The plan he lays out makes a lot of sense *and* seems to respect the Earth.

“People often ask me why I’m so confident that we can restore the climate. I tell them, “Because it’s been done before.” Nature has removed massive amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere 10 times in the last million years, and likely many more times before then.” - Peter Fiekowsky, Climate Restoration

I’m feeling a renewed sense of optimism for the future. You can find more discussion on my blog. Link is in my profile.

Check out the book and see what you think.
