The Flowers Around You


I saw a video in which the photographer Alec Soth made a comparison between photographs and flowers. Central to his comments was the observation that no one complains that there are too many flowers. We all are confronted with the reality that there are an incomprehensible number of photographs in the world. Yet they are also transient like each season's flowers, and pass from our consciousness faster than we might wish. That is just the nature of things. So, fellow traveler, please continue to document your corner of the world with abundant photographs. And, I hope you are open to noticing the flowers around you. 

Tasting notes: Olympus E-500, 35 mm lens.
