What a wise, generous essay. Thanks, both of you. And Saxon, there is always such a sense of authenticity to your images. I like their intimacy. I feel I get to know your subjects because you do.

Hello Kathy and Saxon ~ What a delightful post! I had the privilege of being seated across the table from Saxon at an impromptu garden writers/photographers/bloggers dinner (there were 10 0f us!) at a hip Cajun-style restaurant last month. It was after the SF Flower & Garden Show one night and we had a blast. Saxon, your work is breathtaking; the way you use light as an element of your compositions is just beautiful. I like what you've written here about learning to read and critique "place" when viewing a plant photograph. Now I will visit your blog, Cheers, Debra debra’s last blog post..You say Toe-MAY-toe; I say Toe-MAH-Toe
