geranium in bw.

where: office parking lot. rosemead, calif.

I must have photographed this little geranium patch in our office parking lot at least 50 times. it is a giant clump of forgettable shrub covered with aphid web & various weeds. why 50 times, because it has the most striking hot-pink flower, blooms year-round unaffected by the pestilence. the challenge- you can't take a shot without including a sickly branches or a ball of aphid webs. just when I thought I got a good shot, I b&w'ed the original in acdsee by stupidity. so inside your head: substitute the white with hot-pink, and the black asphalt is actually that black.
