I am back from a long layoff. I needed to take a break from photography and life in general for a bit. I was in Thailand and didn’t get as many pictures as I liked and I still need to move them from my laptop to my main processing computer but they will eventually appear.
I make my triumphant return with this image. I realize it’s in black and white and flowers should be in color but I was in a hotel in some nameless city at one point this year and they had these flower pictures in black and white that just fascinated me. The one I kept looking at was a rose and since I didn’t have a rose handy I found someone in the office with a bunch of silk flowers that I have no idea what they are supposed to be but they worked perfectly. I had my Panasonic G3 with a Minolta 55mm 1.7 lens on it that I needed to test before I sold it and snapped the image. Perfect? Not so much but it does have a weird alien feel to it and I like the way the black and white makes it more interesting and moody then some generic flower shot.

Great shot, good to see you back.
Thank you sir.
The picture is nice but would have liked color and the type of flower it is. Creepy, no. Where was this taken?
Was taken at work in someone’s office. It’s silk or whatever fake flowers are made out of. I wanted it in black and white because it looks better than the color and it contrasts.
Creepy!
That was the point.
