MAESTOSO… Alstroemeria by magdaindigo

I love my images to be crisp and sharp, so that you can see all the beautiful detail. I am a photographer of a dying breed? Proper photography? No scratching, no filters, no messing? Just the art and skill of the medium?
However I also like playing with dof mow and then… it depends what the flowers ‘tell me’, LOL!
Promise, I don’t talk to flowers, they talk to me and I gladly listen!
Each flower seems to have a different ‘personality’ which I’m trying to capture.

Alstroemeria, the genus named after the Swedish baron Alstrˆmer who brought them back from a trip to South America in 1753. Also called the Peruvian Lily or Inca Lily, is a South American genus of about 50 species of flowering plants. Almost all of the species are restricted to one of two distinct centers of diversity, one in central Chile, the other in eastern Brazil. Species of Alstroemeria from the Atacama Desert of Chile are winter-growing plants while those of Brazil are summer-growing.
The flower, which resembles a miniature lily, is very popular for bouquets and flower arrangements in the commercial cut flower trade. They have a vase life of about two weeks.

Have a lovely day and as always, THANX, M, (*_*)

LA FLOR TIMIDA… Alstroemeria by magdaindigo

Each flower seems to have a different ‘personality’ which I’m trying to capture. This bloom looking shy, yet revealing, peeking from under the protective leaf.

DUETTINO… Alstroemeria by magdaindigo

“We dance for laughter,
we dance for tears,
we dance for madness,
we dance for fears,
we dance for hopes,
we dance for screams,
we are the dancers,
we create the dreams.”

That is the ‘original’ quote, that goes for the flowers I photographed here, Alstroemeria… sadly, it did not mention who’s words they were.
It reminds me of ZORBA, By Nikos Kazantzakis, one of my favourite literary works, talk about overlapping expression!!!
Because it was so fitting to my own emotions, I made it into this now:

“I photograph for laughter,
I photograph for tears,
I photograph for madness,
I photograph for fears,
I photograph for hopes,
I photograph for screams,
I am the photographer,
I create the dreams…”

Alstroemeria, commonly called the Peruvian lily or lily of the Incas, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Alstroemeriaceae.

THANX for your comments and visits, much appreciated, as always!, M, (*_*)
