Oh how my photography has changed. When I first really got into photography, I could never understand why anyone would take photographs of flowers. “How boring!” I would think to myself. Now I take so many photographs of flowers that it’s getting to be ridiculous. Flowers are pretty, sure, but it’s not really the flowers [...]

What sins did you consume on the weekend? p.s. I finally experienced what is now my new favourite store in [...]
