Allan Gill's images start as conventional black and white xrays that are then meticulously refined to enhance and isolate the delicate structures found in flowers and plants. The resulting images, with overlapping lines and shapes, have a transparent, somewhat ethereal glow, showing leaves, veins, and internal structures in a delicate balance that conventional photography is unable to achieve. Allan Gill is a semi-retired veterinarian living in Kelowna, British Columbia. A.F.
