I love these Steemit artist challenges.

It's fun to come together to share some of our inspired works, and to build a community of passionate people working together to create value for Steemit.

I love b/w photography and portraits are one of my specialties.  Many people have used my portrait photography for their profile pictures on social media.  I have a great appreciation for the beauty of people, all the different lights they can be seen in and the personalities that shine through the lens.

At the @gardenofeden there are a bazillion photo opportunities everyday.  Not only is nature here in all its glory and the ambiance is conducive to capturing continually changing activities, but there is also a host of really beautiful people.  I love it when the combination of these elements align for an inspiring shot, every opportunity unlike the last.

My entry is a photo I took of @quinneaker at planting time in the @gardenofeden.  It illuminates one of the secrets of our gardening success and all the love we infuse into and presence with the process.  From the creation of the soil from free, used and recycled materials through planting, growing and harvesting, and then on into the creation of Uber Dank High Vibe Cuisine, we are intimate with our food.   Giving a little kiss to the sprout before introducing it into the ground sets the tone for a happy, healthy and vibrant plant, which will provide us with a prolific season of personalized nutrition.

This is my entry for this week's b/w portrait in
@jasonrussell's Portrait Contest Week No. 13.
