It seems appropriate that photographer Robin Bowman printed her botanical Willow & Rue series at a time when the only water source in her darkroom was a garden hose. The first images in her botanical series—Queen Anne’s Lace— were made on a friends’ farm on the Chesapeake Bay in 2008. Since then she has been photographing intimate close-ups of flora on her many travels far and wide with the aid of a macro lens, once battling with bees trying to shoot one of their favorite flowers, the Cardoon . . .
