Flowers 1 & 2, 2019


 

I took the photograph in the late 80’s on a cheap plastic disposable camera that took great shots in this slightly squared off format. I was walking alone through the Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh, my hometown. It was one of those still and sunny days. I laid down on the verge of a flower bed to take this, looking up at the daffodils, which now appear to tower over and look down at us like a crowd of onlookers witnessing an accident. I remember contriving this affect by twisting the stems of the daffodils so that more of them faced towards me.
