Inspiration

I love when I find something, anything, that inspires my photographic eye.  It’s like a drug.  You crave to be inspired and when you see something inspiring, the high starts.

Yesterday I walked into the grocer’s and found my inspiration.  These little flowers were like none I had ever seen.  Obviously a type of sunflower, but not your typical bright yellow sunflower.  These were very warm oranges and browns, such as autumn feels.  I came to find that they are indeed sunflowers.  But they tinted the sunflowers with an orange dye.  What the orange did to the petals was appealing, but even more appealing was what the dye did to the leaves.  It just screamed for a vintage processing.

The beautiful white “fur” on the stems spoke to my black and white obsession.
