Macro photography truly is a unique form of art.  It brings into focus the minuscule aspects of our world that are typically too small to notice or see.  A typical and insignificant part of our day is suddenly given new life and vibrancy, providing a greater understanding of the smaller world that surrounds us.  As the following images demonstrate, we can finally see the extraordinary details that were hidden before photography became possible.
