Photographs by Roger Camp
I discovered Big-Leaf Maple seed pods for the first time when I was living on Cape Cod. The locals grew up playing with them as children, commonly calling the ‘maple copters’. At the time I was photographing plant forms underwater and in ice and decided to try these as well. The apple core photo intrigued me as I thought about the potential of the seeds in the core eventually taking seed next to the Palo Verde tree, a native of the Tucson area.
