In Pacifica, California, I lived through a prolonged drought which provoked disparate creative responses to the garden.
The lack of water meant fewer colorful blooms, removal of the water-hungry grass and fanciful juxtapositions.
With my OM 1 35mm camera, I captured prints of flowers scattered in my garden and on the sand of a nearby beach. I hand painted the images directly on the darkroom printed silver prints, as reminder of our lost summer blooms and the stark reality of environmental change.
