Marie-Claire caught this image of big, fat striped leaves in Wave Hill in the Bronx. She felt that in black and white, the picture was more artistic and interesting.


Marie-Claire took this photograph because she thought the bush looked like a firecracker with an explosion of white and green coming out of it.

The photo was taken at Toscanini’s house in the Bronx. The shadows and light bring out nature’s charm. This lovely, soothing photo was exhibited at the NYC Central Park Exhibition, and also in the Orly airport in France. While in the airport, an admirer stopped Marie-Claire in front of her water lilies and said that she thought they were beautiful because the white flowers were in proportion to the lily pads.
