\"\"<\/a>More from our local do-it-yourself shutterbug! Followers over the last year will have seen our previous contributions from Joel Kroin<\/a>, whose pinhole captures cast a narrow bridge between the charm of old-fashioned photography and modern composition. His shots of the Garden grounds almost give a tricky glimpse into the past.<\/p>\n

Normally Joel doesn’t bring his pinhole camera to the Garden quite as often once the leaves return. “With so many flower and leaf colors, this time of the year is not my favorite since leaves obscure fine plant lines,” he says. In this case, one shot in particular catches our eye, as well as the essence of the Rock Garden<\/a>–a classic Alpine landscape underscored by the peaceful gush of water over stone.

\n“Water features, like the waterfall, are my favorite areas of the Garden,” says Joel. “The mystical quality of time-exposure on water in motion often leads to the question: ‘How did you do that?’ I had not been to the Rock Garden for some time since it was in its winter hibernation. Now, I plan to visit frequently.”<\/p>\n

It’s this sanctuary in the Garden that the NYBG<\/a> is trying to restore to the same beauty that first shone when the Rock Garden opened in the 1930s. Joel Kroin is doing his part to support us in the Partners in Preservation<\/a> competition. We ask only that you think about voting for us<\/a>, and lending a hand to this piece of Nature’s Showplace!<\/p>\n[Not a valid template]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
