When the pandemic started I started to search for things to photograph in and around my home here in Portland, Maine. I turned to flowers. This tulip was growing outside and I loved the colors. The yellow, the black, the deep red, they all told a story. I wanted to capture it like a painting so I focused on a long exposure moving the light around the flower to get the effect I was looking for.
This is one of my first and favorite photos from the early pandemic days.
