My Hosta Obsession, Continued
February 9, 2025
It seems that the more hosta leaves I photograph, the more I want to photograph them. I’ve had photographic obsessions before, notably with Leptothrix discophora films. My photographs of them were straightforward, no extreme cropping or messing about in Lightroom and Photoshop. I began photographing hosta leaves the same way. But lately I’ve been wanting also to emphasize what I love most about them: their forms and oh-so-subtle colorations. The photographs in this post begin with one that received rather conventional treatment and end with those that were more processed.
