Rankin, a london based photographer has taken macro pictures of eye irises.

The variety of colours and patterns are truly amazing. Sadly you have to go to his website for a picture as there is not a sample I can put up for your viewing pleasure. Well worth a look though.

Looking into eyes is sometimes thought of as looking into the very being and existence of a person. Eyes themselves can be very expressive displaying the full range of emotions. All this makes them intrinsically interesting and this macro view of different irises by Rankin is truly fascinating.

You could almost loose yourself in the photographs just as you can sometimes loose yourself in someone's eyes. No longer will it be possible to categorise someone as having just brown eyes.
