current obsession: pattern and texture (otherwise known as calathea leaves and silver on steel rings)

Ever since I started buying real plants, I’ve become obsessed with photographing all the intricacies of their leaves. Of course, that’s probably because I’ve been buying plants with as much variegation in their leaves as possible. But I can’t help it! I love that each leaf is like a little painting! (Especially this Calathea Fusion White, which I’m determined to do my best with, even though the Internet says it’s one of the hardest houseplants around and even though this one was a little beat up when I bought her!)

And I especially love how my new plants look when I photograph them with my silver on steel stacking rings! It’s like my thumb ring and latte art obsession, but to a whole other level. (Which is my way of saying, expect more posts like this in the near future!
