Noticing Things Later


Most photographers have had the experience of coming home, looking at that day's images, and being surprised by something interesting or humorous lurking in the background of one of the frames. In the case of this simple photograph of a Gerber daisy, I was a little dismayed to discover that many of the petals had crease marks on them, something I didn't noticed when I picked them out at the supermarket. In fact, it is pretty difficult to find good flower specimens to photograph if perfection is what you are after. They get banged up pretty good on their journey to market.
