Insect macro photography
Ever since I could walk – maybe even before that – I’ve been enchanted by the tiny lives that crawl, buzz, and shimmer just beneath our feet. I used to collect snails before bedtime, only to find they’d all “snailed away” by morning. Dragonfly wings glittering in the sun could hypnotize me for hours. And honestly, they still do.
Mutual curiosity
A woodlouse curling into a perfect orb, or a spider weaving a masterpiece more complex than most human art, it all continues to fill me with awe. I’ve made eye contact with some of the weirdest bugs. I’ve shared silent moments with dragonflies, studied by them as much as I studied them. I’ve even discovered a rare pink grasshopper, the erythristic kind.
Crawling through grass feels like stepping into another world—an insect-sized dreamscape. A microcosmos. Wonderland, perhaps. Or maybe… Roeselien in Wonderland.
