What lies below... or rather, hangs...

Below the flowers from the last few posts there was another interesting subject. Lower in the plants was a spider web that had caught only drops of water (presumably from the sprinklers), so I got the camera down in it.








Park III

These white and purple flowers were found in someplace one might not expect (see these other posts for where). These shots focus on ones that had not opened completely, or at all, or would not open again.

Park II

More white petals and purple stamen of these flowers seen in these posts found in a place not typically associated with beauty.

A parking lot.

Park

Another flower post, but this one is not like all the others. These white petals and purple stamen have cupped some water, but that's not the difference.

It's what was next to these flowers.


Beauty is where you look for it. Even a parking lot.
More.

Flower hunting

Shots taken around Culver City last weekend. These flowers all were outside different apartment buildings.

Tooting my own horn

About a month and a half ago, I submitted some of my Urban Light photos to a LACMA contest, and some were selected as finalists.

I now can announce that one of my photos was chosen as the winner. That shot is used as the cover for an online exhibit and book, Celebrating Urban Light. (Click those links to see the exhibit and/or order the book.)

The announcement on the LACMA art blog can be read here.

An article on the LA Times Culture Monster blog--for which I was interviewed--can be read here. (That same article also appeared in the Times' print edition--Calendar section, page E3, in case you happen to have that around.)

Here's the image again (and below, how it looked on the page of the newspaper):
