Finally flowers are interesting again

The best thing about flowers as a photography subject is eventually they die, which is when they become interesting. Like this ‘brown eyed susan’ being blown away like shredded paper in a storm.

Several years ago I spent most of my nights taking photos of and for punk bands in Toronto. Now it’s flowers during the day. There are similarities between the subjects, like both will pay you about the same amount and, soon after forming, they’ll both break apart, wither and die. The biggest difference between the two is the amount of alcohol and ephedrine it takes to kill them.
