It's no secret that I love photographing ferns. The logarithmic pattern of their fronds have a mathematical and orderly quality to them, but they are often jumbled together in the most chaotic sections of the forest understory. This tension between order and chaos can work well in a photograph.

Late Spring/early Summer is my favorite time to photograph ferns. They are a fresh vibrant green and the pollen, and pine needles, and stray leaves haven't fallen on them and lodged in between their blades. They are clean and green. I've been curating my Summer photos and I expect a couple fern photos will make the cut.

This one here in this photo looked like it was trying to reach out and catch the sun. I worked on some wide angle photos with this fern in the foreground, but ended up preferring the portrait showcasing the two-faced profile of the fern, half in the light, half in the dark.
