We’re into 2016 now. The Girlfriend loves calla lilies and we’ve had them a couple of times, but they never seem to last more than a year or two. Still, while this one was blossoming, I got extraordinarily lucky in that a newborn Chinese mantis scampered around the bloom while I was there, and I got several frames. This one in particular became an art print and was displayed in the one gallery showing that I’ve had (so far, anyway – more are planned, because I intend to get into this more conscientiously.) I was attempting not to be too “buggy” in my choices, but figured this one was acceptable. And based on some of the feedback that I received, I could probably get away with more, though it certainly depends on the venue. Is it feasible to do an entire line of arthropod fine art prints? Will photographers one day arrange their own galleries of insect art because of the trend started by Denelsbeck? Do I even know what fine art is? You can come up with your own answers to these, which likely won’t agree with mine and yet will prove to be far more accurate…
