Patterns of Ferns © 2012 Bo Mackison
The miracle is not to fly in the air, or walk on the water, but to walk on the earth. ~ Chinese Proverb
The ferns were in thick clumps in the conservatory at the New York Botanical Gardens, and offered plenty of opportunities to shoot them in different positions, layers, color combinations. This photo ended up as my favorite – very simple, a pair of ferns, side by side.

About Bo Mackison
Love this series, and really like that the predominant color of the series seems to be green. Moving away from the dry, sere and drought mentality back into the lush, green, productive path. Nicely done!
Yes, following a green path is much to my liking right now! Thanks, Quinn.
Such gorgeous color..and exquisite detail. Love the patterns the ferns create. Nice composition!
I do believe almost all photographers could be happily occupied for hours, if they had only a few ferns and their camera of choice!
Nice to meet you Bo, you have here some great work!
Thank you for visiting my blog, I hope you enjoy the August Break 🙂
Thank you, Ana, for your kind words and for visiting my blog, too.
I like this a lot! that was my immediate reaction. Light, airy, layered.
Thanks, Anita. Ferns are a photographer’s friend, for sure!
