Store-Bought Flowers

On days that I get to shoot I get so excited; not knowing what the day will bring, hoping for something new to pop up. I try to get out after dropping my daughter at school. Lately this is right at sunrise so I can usually count on some good light. Last week I packed my gear, got us both in the car, dropper her off, and set out to find something interesting. As I was driving I realized the sun might be coming up, but it was behind some very ugly looking, hazy clouds. This was not looking good. I drove around to a few places, but absolutely nothing was catching my eye. I decided I could either keep driving around and get more and more frustrated or I could do something different, so I headed to the grocery store and bought myself some flowers. I’m not big on shooting indoors, but it’s always good to challenge yourself. I think next time I’ll need to buy some tulips.
