Agave; genus of monocotyledons, is an aloe-like native to the hot and dry regions of America.
A striking plant having a dense cluster of rigid fleshy leaves. Eye-catching as a single specimen, spectacular in a developed clump - but to a photographers’ eye, so much more. A delightful source of changing shapes, patterns, light and shade when inspected through a contortion of camera angles in the early morning light.
I hope the viewer will enjoy these prints of the Agave in my garden as much as I have enjoyed taking and printing them in the dark room.
