As part of my black & white month, I wanted to feature some photos of cactus. I’ve visited several botanic gardens and conservatories, but hadn’t ever spent the time and focus needed to properly capture cactus. So, on a cold Sunday in January, I drove down to Lincoln Park, and upon arriving, realized that I’d left my Nikon at home. After driving home and back, I walked into the Lincoln Park Conservatory, only to discover that they don’t have a cactus room – some days just don’t work out how you plan.
So, instead of cactus, I took photos of plants that I thought would work great in black & white…and someday, I’ll actually take a trip to photograph cactus.
