I have come to the conclusion that I only liked taking photos of flowers in my parents' garden mainly because it was their garden, they grew those flowers and yeah, those were their flowers, the fruit of their labour. On my bike ride this morning, I went past so many tulips and other flowers and truth be told I kept on thinking, "I should come back here one day with the camera" but I had my camera with me yesterday and I took exactly zero photos. Of course those tulips were amazing, of course those wild flowers were beautiful but, come on, many people with better cameras and who are better photographers have taken photos of such things... there is no real soul in those flowers, is there? They're just that. Some random flowers.
It kind of reminds me of taking loads of photos of food in restaurants, it's pretty, but there is no soul in that stuff unless you see the magic of the preparation happen before you.
Heck, here are the only flower photos from the last month I have... and it's spring, the season of flowers!
