About Steven Schwartzman
I've been involved with photography since the late 1960s, when I got my first real camera toward the end of my two years in Honduras as a Peace Corps math teacher. From the 1970s through the mid-1980s I went through a phase of black and white infrared photography, often even in 3-D. My current period began in 1999.

excellent macro!
Steven Schwartzman replied:
I see that you're from Sydney. When I visited your area 10 years ago I was surprised to find lantana, a plant that's native in Texas, growing wild by the side of a path.
