i tried to capture these leaves’ beautiful shiny upper surfaces while they were freshly picked. then i lost my usb transfer cord and in the three days it took to replace it, i lost all the images i’d taken of the beautiful freshly picked shiny leaves. in the meantime, they curled up into even more interesting shapes, to reveal even more beautiful white-veined underleaves. i wish i could say i had planned it this way.
