Unraveled

This morning I found that the white ranunculus in my lovely Polux bouquet had toppled over (basically decapitated) and there were peony petals all over the table. Perfect time to take apart the bouquet and do some floral still life studies. And perfect time to play with some off-camera flash. And now it's 2pm and this is all I've accomplished today. Hah, if only every day could begin like this. (Since I've gotten a few questions about my tripod, I thought I'd link it here - it's a Gitzo Explorer.)

  6. When I first started to read this post I thought Avedon had caused the flowers to fall - especially when I saw the word "decapitated"! Glad that's not the case. Anyway, beautiful photos.

  10. so i totally just rode the subway with you (the A train uptown, before the hurricane). and i kept staring because i adore your blog and think you're a brilliant photographer and i wasn't sure if it was you and even if i was sure i probably wouldn't have had the courage to say hello, but now i'm being the strange blogger-stalker person. but anyway, i adore your work and carry on and next time i will say hello. --meg (fellow brooklynite).

    1. No way!! I totally know of your blog too. You have what looks to be a lovely apartment. :) I apologize if I looked like an angry mess. It was a struggle to get all my stuff packed and ready to go, along with my 18 pound cat on the subway. Hope to connect again!
