This Photographer Captures the Beauty of the Bonsai Tree

I've always been amazed by the devotion and care it takes to 'train' a bonsai tree, meaning growing it and caring for it through it's development, which can take many many years, often resulting in the trees having multiple growers. Photographers Stephen Voss and Michael Hagedom have spent 2 years taking photos of these magnificent dwarf trees, and have even made a book of it -
In Training, a Book of Bonsai Photos.
