I have been as busy as a bee painting commissions and creating new art! I am on a roll and find that I do not have as much to say right now. So we can just play show and tell….I will show you and you can tell me what you think. 🙂
Flower Macro from the Archives
Beautiful macro work by Laura Macky!
I was just searching through my archives for images I hadn’t yet posted here and found this one. It’s one of the first images I took with my 105mm macro.
These little flowers are very tiny! They’re not the “usual” fuschia flowers that one usually sees hanging in baskets. These flowers grow on a green and white leafed plant rooted in the ground and I’d say the flower is maybe an inch long or so, if that. Unfortunately I don’t know the name of the plant…shocker! If anyone does, I’d love to hear what it is.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day. 🙂

Jeremiah La Plante, photographer
“Photography is a side hobby of mine that also doubles as a secret passion.”
Jeremiah La Plante, photographer
Quite recently and by happenstance I found Jeremiah on the expansive terrain of wordpress. I immediately was drawn into his world. I search for some way to verbalize what I feel when I look through his photographs. I know these places he photographs as I live near them. He takes the commonplace and finds a transcendental essence. Something akin to the french term “sui generis” – an exception to the rule, another reality. When you visit Jeremiah’s google site (link follows) you will find a beautifully written article on the French photographer Eugene Atget. Reading about this remarkable photographer, working in the 1890’s. will give you further insight to Jeremiah’s sensibilities.

Art Featured Again!
I wrote this blog post about one of my photographs being featured on the homepage of Crated…and it happened again today! I woke up to the notification email from Crated saying my one and only painting (thus far) on Crated is now featured on the homepage! Wild!
I am still trying to minimize my typing and heal my hands/arms, but will link to the history behind my paintings, here and here which contain better explanations as to why this acknowledgment is especially appreciated.
Click on the image to purchase a print of ‘Walk Gently’ from Crated.
