Insects
Details of wings:
Beauty of the beasts,
diversity of the forms,
intricacy of the textures.
Photography of insects:
epitaph for little creatures,
epigram for the dread,
reverence to the dead.
Inventory of orders:
register of families,
distinction of classes,
classification of nuisance.
List of insects:
homage to the ignored,
commemorative page,
species roll call.
Photomicrography:
exaltation by magnification,
expose the little,
reveal the imperceptible.
Gum bichromate:
alchemy of the technique,
transmutation of debris,
sublimation of waste.
