Flower studies

For years I would want to punch in the nose people who brought flowers to my house because flowers (even cut) gave me such terrible allergies. My eyes would tear up, I would sneeze all day and I swore to myself that I would dump every guy who brought me flowers. Then, I fell in love with (film) photography, and flowers didn't interest me much. I thought that because I had no interest in photographing them in their natural state that I should refrain from making photos of them altogether. Only recently did I realize how much I like to photograph them at home. And so I've been on a flower binge. Now I want to grow them in our garden so I can always have a bouquet on our dining room table. I'll just have to invest in some really strong allergy medicine come spring.
