Essay #8: Macro

This image is more of a "close-up" than a marco, but I couldn't find any obliging insects.

I enjoy macro the same way I enjoy a good book: It provides a glimpse into a different world. A dragonfly's eye, the heart of a flower, light dancing on the surface of a water droplet. Macro looks closer, appreciating detail and magnifying complexity. The smaller the scale, the more intricate the design, and the more breathtaking the sight. It's all there, waiting for discovery, but I'm often too blind or too busy to notice.
