I’ve always enjoyed taking care of and raising plants, so I was really excited to start our second project.  As we worked in the greenhouse, I found I really enjoyed taking photos of the plants more than I enjoyed our first project. As we moved on to different projects, while I did enjoy most of them, I found that I didn’t enjoy any of them quite as much as I enjoyed photographing the flowers.  Additionally, when we had to choose which photos we wanted to print, I found that my best work was the close-ups I took of the plants. So, for my self-defined project, I immediately knew that I wanted to continue photographing close ups of plants, and thus, I created this series.
