Bee (2003)
Leaving the DAAP building one day in May, I heard a buzzing in the sculpture garden nearby. Bees were pollinating the freshly opened flowers, so I decided to whip out my camera to document this rite of Spring.
I must have underestimated the speed at which these little insects moved. I hardly had time to focus, let alone set up a shot and take it. It got to the point where I switched to AutoFocus and started shooting randomly into the flowers.
This method luckily produced this image. The bee was in focus, positioned dynamically in the shot, and the diagonal stems of the flowers provided an interesting line system from which the bee and his perch may diverge.
