home | still lifes | flower buds

	Following an especially bitter winter in Chicago (the great blizzard of 1979), these pictures were made as a celebration of spring, of life returning. Hoping to make flower pictures that were not complete stereotypes, I decided to photograph the flowers in the bud stage instead of full bloom. Prints were 14" x 11" from 5 " x 4 " color negatives.
