Karl Blossfeldt (June 13, 1865 – December 9, 1932)

Karl Blossfeldt was a sculpture, instructor and self taught photographer. With a homemade camera, he photographed thousands of plants in various forms of decay. His photographs are probably the most beautiful botanical images I've ever seen.

"The plant never lapses into mere arid functionalism; it fashions and shapes according to logic and suitability, and with its primeval force compels everything to attain the highest artistic form." - Karl Blossfeldt
