Insects

Welcome to my gallery of insect photos.  My interest in insect photography came close on the heels of trying to develop my general macro photography skills–that is, capturing subjects at true life size or even larger than life size.  During the pandemic, I took a Zoom workshop on macro photography offered by Santa Fe Workshops and I worked to develop my eye and technique.  Not all of these photos are macro, by strict definition.  But most are in that spirit and I hope capture the character and grace of these insects.
