Big Botany: Conversations with the Plant World
George Andrew Tice’s entrance to photography began at age 14 through camera clubs and taking portraits. His highly tonal work in black and white eventually led him to nuanced platinum printing. Many of his photographs appear in book form or as small portfolios, of which his Trees portfolio, begun in 1964 and published in 1968, is one of the earliest. In these two selections from Trees, Tice is focused on plant morphology, and specifically on the patterns of alternate buds on branches (Tree #12) and complex bipinnate leaves (Tree #19).
