“Amaryllis” (archival photograph) by Carol Wontkowski, in her show “Blooming,’’ at Galatea Fine Art, Boston, June 4-27.
Ms. Wontkowski comments:
“‘The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.’
— Dorothea Lange
"My work reflects the beauty in common things. Though we live in a world marred by human influence, there is still order, design and beauty around us. It is my desire to capture the more tranquil and serene images of this world, mirroring their Designer.
“This is an amaryllis bud beginning to open. The process is both elegant and exciting to see. I captured this image just before it began to fully emerge to show its unusual process."
