After reading Calhoun's account of his visit to the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve, I find his stories to be entertaining and inspiring. He writes passionately about his love of different flora and much of his commentary only adds to the stories his pictures tell. After reading about his visit to the Poppy Reserve, I actually find myself wanting to visit it as well. Much of Calhoun's comments are witty and down-to-earth, making it easier to relate to his adventures.
"With their petals closed up, the poppies appeared both shy and defiant, but I enjoyed seeing them with the hatches battened down; the effect was more subtle, and the orange teardrop shapes of the flower heads added to their beauty." I admire how Calhoun uses a different approach to photographing the poppies. Even though the poppies were not open, Calhoun finds them just as beautiful and photographs them anyways.
All in all, Calhoun's poppy story is inspiring and I cannot wait to have my own photographic adventures to write about and share in my blog.
