TulipsTezos NFT Collection by Lauren McDonagh-PereiraTulips is a photography NFT collection by Lauren McDonagh-Pereira. Inspired by macro photographers I had met in web3, I spent the Spring of 2022 exploring the world of macro photography in my own backyard. Each piece is minted on the Tezos blockchain, and can be found on Objkt.com or you can collect a fine art print shipped directly to your home through Printify. Sweet as WineI created this image on April 22, 2022 in my backyard garden in the United States. Inspired by macro artists in the NFT photography Twitterverse, I planted a garden, bought a macro lens, and started exploring. I laid down in the dirt of my garden, pointed my camera upwards and shot the beautifully detailed underside of this beauty.Nikon Z50 w/FTZ converter Tamron SP 60mm F/2 Macro LensISO 1000 60mm f/10 1/80Massachusetts, United State of America COLLECT THIS NFT Buy Fine art PrintBeleaf in MeI created this image on April 22, 2022.

In New England, the lives of tulips are very brief. I planted them in November, watched them sprout through March and April, and only got to enjoy them for two weeks before they wilted away. Perhaps that is what photography is all about; trying to hold tight to the ephemeral beauty of tiny moments while they last.Nikon Z50 w/FTZ converter Tamron SP 60mm F/2 Macro LensISO 640 60mm f/16 1/100Massachusetts, United State of America COLLECT THIS NFT Buy Fine art PrintI'm Falling ApartI created this image on May 1, 2022.
