Beyond Fractals:
Intimate Images of Natural Patterns
Photographs by Neil Goldstein
My floral pictures are not examples of ideal images of flowers. Rather, they are images of the local flora in their natural environment. I look for colors and patterns, just as I do for my Beyond Fractal series, but with a more intimate perspective. I also look for interesting moments in the lifecycle of the flowers, particularly their demise, when their forms and colors change in unique ways for each flower.
