Shooting Flowers

I like shooting flowers. There is something about it what I like. If I see interesting flower, I want to take picture of it. It's almost like an instinct for me.
Of course, ordinary, simple flower is hardly original subject. Everyone take pictures of flowers, everywhere in the world.
It is unnecessary to say "Flowers are Beautiful". Because it seems almost as if the word "flower" has the adjective "beautiful" embedded into it.
We should keep our mouth shut and capture that beauty with a silent appreciation.
I think cameraman must take a picture when he or she feels so. When I passed these flowers, I just naturally pressed the shutter. Maybe my photography lacks "artistic sweep". But I am who I am.
