Close-Up and Macro Photography: A Primer (BK-30)

I was fortunate to be introduced to the world of nature at an early age, thanks to the kindness of a woman named Peggy Dodge, a graphic art­ist and a friend of the family. My mother and Mrs. Dodge would meet with a small group of local artists at the Dodge farm, which was located in a rural area that included a small pond, meadows, and fields. Mom would take me along. Peggy Dodge also had a true love of nature and all its creatures, a love which she was kind enough to share with me when I vis­ited. I was six years old.
