Reversed Cheer

Reversed Cheer

SS 1/160, F16, ISO 200

“Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.” – Edward Weston

For those who may not have visiting my blog before, or those who have, but might have forgotten, the Gerber Daisy represents cheer in the Victorian Language of Flowers – thus the title.

Innocence

“I might have some character traits that some might see as innocence or naive. That’s because I discovered peace and happiness in my soul. And with this knowledge, I also see the beauty of human life.” – Toby Maquire

Innocence

Depending on which reference used, the Gerbera Daisy represents innocence, thus the selection of the quote above.

I used light to create a feeling of  innocence in this photograph by creating a blown-out background.   I think this technique creates an ethereal feeling which enhances the mood of innocence.

Wishing you moments of innocence and recognition of the beauty of human life everyday!
