Tulipmania features rare and unusual tulips, including heirloom tulips grown from bulbs collected 500 years ago during the tulip craze in Holland. Several images are similar to Semper Augustus, once so rare it was worth the price of a city block of houses in 1600s Holland, sparking the world’s first economic bubble that burst when prices became overinflated. The collection exhibits intense detail and clarity. Each image is a focus stack, combining multiple images taken at different focus distances to create a work with extreme depth of field. Each tulip in the collection was chosen for its unique sense of movement and flow. When you gaze upon Tulipmania, you are transported to the flower fields of the Dutch Renaissance, where tulips rose from their status as wildflowers to become one of the most sought-after and iconic flowers in civilization.
