Common Bleedinghearts
Finally got a proper slide shot of this by my wonderful slide photographer, Karen Philippi, in Providence (well Pawtucket really). It is always worth the trip. Now I'm finally figuring out how to make decent prints of these for my portfolio packets with the nice digital lab downstairs in her studio building. This was one of the things I was working on at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in May/June of this year.
