"this slipper orchid... does look better after the rain. I was photographing terrestrial orchids for a home and garden assignment when it started raining... I thought I was done photographing Slipper Orchids, because I had already photographed one and I was happy with the photograph, until I noticed the raindrops sticking to this one. My first thought was, "who cares, it looks nice, but I don't want to spend any more time photographing a Slipper Orchid, when there are other orchids I still need to photograph before I have to leave." But then I looked at it again, and grudgingly knelt down in the mud so I could be on the same level with the orchid. I made the first frame, and was disappointed, but I thought it was good enough that I should continue to try and get a great photograph. So I tried, moving a tiny bit each time, getting closer, then farther, and then closer again, each time changing what I did until I thought I had a picture that looked as good on camera as it did when I saw it in my minds' eye."
