Thanks Godfrey. Documentation in an aesthetical way with available techniques is what I aim for. The motivation I find in the beauty as well as weirdness of nature. Henk "These days, if somebody tells me they are a photographer, I'm not sure what they do." (David Hockney). Op zo 22 jan. 2023

Perhaps when seen standalone as photographs, these two images are not "Art" but exquisite documentarian representations of fungi in nature … But they could be embued with the notion of Art by incorporating them into a display of photographs which allegorizes a perception of them … in their

Re: Something for Henk

Ralf, for me the world of fungi is strange enough in itself. I have no need for additional artistic modification other than getting sharp pictures and a fair reproduction of colors. However I do appreciate such weird fantasy even if it is generated with the help of AI. To illustrate, here are two
