As I was out walking around this morning at Nine Mile Reservoir, my eyes were drawn to the little details on the ground. I became really interested in the mini landscape, and wanted to explore that more fully. I started off photographing the plants that were sticking out of the snow. I wanted to find signs of life where everything was cold and frozen. I then started to notice the different textures of the rocks, and when I got even closer, I saw the lichen in orange, green, black, and white and I knew that was what I wanted to focus on for this project. I decided to use my 100mm macro lens to magnify the tiny details and allow me to get a closer look. I looked for lichen that appeared in interesting patterns and complimented the texture of the rock upon which it was growing. I tried to compose each image almost as if it were a painting, by paying attention to the lines, patterns, colors, and shapes.
