"I am fascinated by flowers.  They inspire me: they are mysterious as they bring forth visions, seasons and initiate memories; they bring me back to the earth.   

As an architectural photographer, I record the stark and ornate beauty of buildings inside and out. Cut flowers and plants are always key elements in the rooms that I photograph. One of the most important components of a photograph of a building exterior is the landscaping.   

The most exciting project I have and continue to photograph is a four and one-half acre estate on the Navesink River, New Jersey.  I have witnessed and recorded its development and transformation for the past seven years.  Here, the flower gardens are the story.  They were transformed from barren grass to lush gardens and from tangled brush and weeds to a man-made pond to ice skate in the winter and enjoy giant water lilies in the summer. Many decorative pots are always filled with lush overflowing flowers and sometimes a lemon or orange tree.   

The flowers on this cube are a direct result of photographing this garden oasis. My client and the designer, Norman Hungerford, Ph.D., asked me to compile a book to commemorate the transformation of the gardens as a gift to the owners.  In collaboration with my friend and book artist, Elaine Golt Gongora, we reviewed the hundreds of my photos of the garden in all seasons.  She suggested that real flowers would make this handmade book very special.  I collected every floral variety I could and waited for them to dry.   

The dried flowers were too delicate to survive on the pages of a book so I started photographing them and haven’t stopped.  Now the real blooms from my own ever-expanding flower and vegetable garden are the subject of my photography.  

I have been smitten with flowers and I hope you are too!"   Melabee M Miller
