You can see flowers in museums and in graveyards, but I prefer the ones we find in the garden and place on our dining table. I've always enjoyed having cut flowers in the house, and they are also interesting subjects to photograph. These delicate paperwhites really do resemble paper when they are dried out like this. The colors of the blossoms are interesting, but the stems, not so much. So I opted for a monochrome treatment here. I used to like to make my digital black and white look like film, but now I just shoot film when I want the film look. I've been exploring different digital monochrome looks without concerning myself too much with reproducing the tones and grain of film.
