Was just doing some Edward Steichen research for the newsletter and I learned he was a master delphinium gardener. He was president of Delphinium Society of America and spent years cross breeding and growing acres of the flowers. He even had a show at MoMA, filling the galleries with his flowers.
I took a snap of a blooming dogwood last Spring on the walk from my car to my office. It was such a good reminder to be present in the moment, to acknowledge the beauty and drama around us. So many times I've wished I had a camera - or even a cell phone - with me, but haven't. Luckily I have captured those in my mind's eye.
Thanks for sharing. I picked up a similar interest in photographing gardens and plants from my mum. Moving out of the city into a more rural setting meant that I can't capture photographs of household gardens easily as properties are much further apart and the gardens tucked away. But I get to capture the efforts of our own gardening process. Here are some images of our work on a garden by our driveway. https://www.goodintentions.nz/p/matariki-gardening
I’m love this article and the sound of the book. I’m obsessed with our garden and photograph it often with my phone and I’ll bring my big camera out every few weeks. I am really into the idea of the people behind the gardens I walk by and/or my observation that most people I’ve met who love to garden are pretty decent people… I’m starting a portrait series this year called ‘In My Garden’, I may even do a little voice recorded interview with them. Reading your article gave me a little boost/push to get started. Thanks 😊
I love people and everyday street photography first as my photography focus but nature, second. Thank you for bri going this peaceful practice to light! I may send you one of my collections soon. 😊
I have this book, and this particular photo is wonderful. The strange juxtaposition between the way the woman is dressed, her hair, etc. (just like the Queen) and the unorganized, almost out-of-control plants.
Hey Andy, I am from the Chicago area but not officially a photographer so I'm not sure if that is what you want in your Midwest group. I was going to include a photo to this text but I'm currently on a cruise and the internet is pretty spotty!

That's wonderful! Thanks, Rob.
