This reminds me of my dream to one day see the Harvard Museum of Natural History’s Glass flower collection. It’s a lost art form that makes me sad that we’ve moved past the era where artisans and human craftsmanship was valued

imagine how much fun it must of been to draw these! i imagine botanical artists as being the type to “love their job so much it doesn’t feel like work” type during that era.

I usually walk around and take photos of people, but today experimented at home. I love how slow and meticulous still life can be. Highly recommend!

Went to an antique market and picked up a random assortment of old photos. Something about it is just so beautiful to me. Someone years ago really wanted a photo of this moment or they were messing around with a camera and caught it and maybe they are gone now or these photos got lost or given away but I can hold this moment for them. It just gives me that, wow humanity, feeling. Anyway this scuba diver, I’m obsessed with them, and this photo, and the composition, and the fishies. I’m using it as a bookmark.
