In The Loupe

While recently in Hawaii again, began a fun little project.  Using the iPhone4's Hipstamatic app, 

whenever a little critter would wander across my desk, I'd get them under the loupe and 

capture their closeup, using backgrounds from a variety of places; Life magazines from the 40's, 

phonebooks, and whatever attractive textures I could find.  It was pretty amazing to get so 

close to these creatures: to see the tiny gecko's lungs fill with air, the praying mantis meticulously 

groom herself, every eye of the banana spider as it spooled its silk. Even the common cockroach

 was a fasinating creature when I took the time to see the small details we'd usually prefer just to squash.
