Photography: Stories: Dragonflies

I don't know when my fascination with dragonflies started: maybe when I was a child and one landed on my finger... I find great peace in watching them flit and fight, darting faster than my eyes can follow. I spent many hours in 100º F, if not hotter, over the past two summers watching and photographing them. I hope the photographs give viewers some insight into the short and chaotic lives they live.
