The world of macro has enabled me to change my perspective on things, specifically, the world of bugs. They have never been a pleasant curiosity for me. Too many Saturday mornings cleaning bugs of the front of my father’s car with hot, soapy water.
While visiting a friends abandoned homestead farm I was chasing some small butterflies through the yard with my macro lens, when I noticed this little guy out of the corner of my eye. I like to think that he came to see what I was and what I was doing. I was able to set the exposure, prefocus my lens then bend over and slowly lean into this guy until he came into focus. Do I imagine his smile?
