underneath the lily

I bought flowers for the Christmas-dinner table and they were lovely, as was the dinner and the time with family.

Then, of course, I waited for the flowers to start to wilt so I could start photographing them. This particular flower bloomed late and was in full glory almost a week and a half later…

shutter

The other day, someone asked me if having an architectural degree influenced my photography. (Because that degree hasn’t exactly influenced my bank account in any noticeable degree.)

But I bet my architecture professors are real proud.
