Cropped the two flowers out of the larger scene.

I found this tri-fold brochure that I mailed out to advertise my Macro Boot Camps in the early years, brought back memories of the work it took creating and sending those out. I copied this brochure style from pro photographer John Shaw. 

This one was a spring workshop schedule, and looks like I was in, San Deigo, Louisville, Farmington Hills, MI (two dates), Boston, Chicago, and Buffalo.

This was many years ago and a three-day macro bootcamp was only $149 and they all sold out. 

Eventually it was too time consuming and costly to send out the brochures so started promoting the workshops online.

Chicory (Cichorium intybus) is a striking flower on display June through frost.  It is a common roadside weed that grows so densely sometimes that it looks as if it was planted. 

It's fun shooting these little flowers and they make for beautiful images.
