A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in--what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.

-Victor Hugo

There are only a few days left in this project and I am so ready to be done. I feel as if I should have a party, celebrate by marking the images in some way. But to be truthful, I will put them into a folder and see what happens. I missed the freedom of not sharing the whole story behind the image. And while I set out to not have to follow any rules, that only allowed me to simplify things and the project became somewhat of a chore. But I also learned a few things along the way. I shot many of the photos with a vintage lens I bought a couple years back. They were all, manually focused making me feel pretty confident with this beautiful lens now. I also learned that flowers are just about my favorite subject to capture, and I feel as if the project would have been much harder during another season. I look forward for things to get back to normal after Labor Day.
