Another outtake from the Lego flowers shoot rescued from the archives.

Lego Flowers - 2016
This image is from the same shoot as the fields of Lego flowers.
On a technical note, this series was my first use of the Rollei extension bellows which allows for extreme closeup and macro photography. With the rail fully extended and two addition extension rings, there was a good eight to nine inches between the lens and the camera. Paired with an 80-megapixel digital back, the flower petals, which are less than half an inch in real life, are more than thirteen inches in width in the image.

Lego Flowers - 2016
This image was inspired by my lifelong love of Lego that was itself reinvigorated by my attempts to instill a lifelong love of Lego in my children.
Looking at an individual Lego flower stem, I thought, 'this is cool, but what if there were lots?', and I set about getting lots. And lots. And lots.
The original idea was to be one massive field of multi-colored flowers, but that evolved instead into fields of single colors: red, yellow, white, and pink. After several weeks of collecting and assembling flowers, this image was the first of the series to be photographed.
