A Northern Fulmar soars gracefully over a grassy field with its wings fully extended and its pink feet in a downward position readying for landing. The backdrop of mountains and sky creates a serene atmosphere. Photography by Debra Martz

🏷️ Pollen and Persona

A close-up of a vibrant yellow Black-eyed Susan with a dark purple center. Its petals are curled and imperfect — some torn, some discoloured — adding realism and emotional depth. The central disk is densely packed with tiny florets, dusted with yellow pollen.
—
She’s not just a flower. She’s a former dancer at a smoky meadow cabaret — the kind who wore pollen like pearls and petals like silk. The years chipped her edges, but the spotlight still finds her. And when it does, she performs like it’s the last show of the season.

A close-up of blooming pink roses with rain droplets on their petals. The flowers are richly textured and dominate the frame, emerging from a dark, softly blurred background. The lighting emphasizes the freshness and detail of the petals and droplets.

The roses don’t dance, but they shimmer. And they remember.

A close-up of a vibrant yellow lily covered in rain droplets. The petals are elongated and slightly curled, with stamens and pistil prominently visible in the center. The background is dark green and softly blurred, making the flower stand out. Another yellow lily is partially visible in the background.
—
There’s a theatrical flair to this lily — she’s not shy. The light makes her sparkle like she’s on stage. The rain didn’t dampen her mood; it gave her costume.

Calm in Teal – Surprise in Orange
·
📷 1/250 sec at f/8,0, ISO 200, 50 mm standard 24–50mm —👤 #dan23freedom
#Photography #SelfPortrait #BlackAndWhite #TealTones #OrangeTones #CalmExpression #SurprisedExpression #IntimatePortrait #StudioLighting #NoirPortrait #IntimateLens #SilentFilmVibes #Diptych

This two‑part self‑portrait plays like a fragment of a reel: first, a calm, steady gaze tinted in teal, holding the frame with quiet poise. The second image, with subtle orange toning and a tight crop, shifts into theatrical surprise — exaggerated astonishment, eyes widened and brows lifted just enough to feel performed, like an actor holding a reaction for the camera. Together, the pair speak in the language of early cinema — a diptych of composure and overstatement.
