HEROIC  BOTANICALS
FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY BY MICHAEL McNULTY
Thanks to everyone who has inspired me, including, especially:

Larry Bolch http://www.larry-bolch.com/
Who taught me, without ever knowing me, that a.) cameras don't take pictures, people take pictures; and b.) one does not have to be a member of the digerati to get this digital imaging thing: it's for the rest of us, too.
 
Gene Joseph and Jane Evans http://www.lithops.net/
Whose magic houses contain inexhaustible supplies of succulents. Nearly every species found in these pages can be acquired at Plants for the Southwest.  
 
Dolly Parton http://www.dollyon-line.com/
Who stands for living what you love, extra large.
 
Steven Hammer http://www.cactus-mall.com/rana/
Who is living proof that it is possible to know everything about something.
 
Kano Masanobu and his son, Motonobu http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/kano/hd_kano.htm
Who inspired the Ashikaga shoguns, six centuries ago, with a vision of simplicity and elegance that became an aesthetic that defines Japan still today.
