Thumbs up ongoing by Tim Bray · Still Life Paintings of Daisies

One of my favorite online activities is the discussion of photography and (often very loosely) related subjects over at PDML. A thread last March made me want to take pictures of daisies to serve as examples to support a point I was trying to make on <a href="http://www.thomassabocheap.com/thomas-sabo-bird-cage-pendant-p-275.html"><strong>Thomas Sabo Bird Cage Pendant</strong></a> the subject of nothing less than Art Itself. Unfortunately, this far north (and with a cool spring) they&#x2019;ve been hard to come by. But I found some. I&#x2019;d posted some other shots of flowers, acknowledging that they were steeped in clich&#xe9;. This provoked a polite storm of only moderately-cynical argument, <a href="http://www.airjordanscheap.com"><strong>air jordans shoes</strong></a> in which one gentleman offered &#x201c;I think about the retirement home with little old ladies taking oil paint lessons so that they can do still life paintings of daisies.&#x201d; Since then I&#x2019;ve been hell-bent on making a still-life of some daisies. This probably isn&#x2019;t it, since the subjects of Still Lives are often inanimate not to mention dead, <a href="http://www.cheaphervelegerdresssale.com/herve-leger-2011-bandage-dress-black-p-388.html"><strong>Herve Leger 2011 Bandage Dress Black</strong></a> and these here daisies were swaying briskly in the wind and drinking in the sun. But still, I&#x2019;ve been hunting these little suckers for months, so here they are. Now I have to remember what it was I was trying to say about Art. Contributions
