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.
By all means... keep those little projects going... I can´t tell you how gorgeous little creatures come alive with your lens.
