Narcissus

Narcissus, 2026

Archival print on photographic paper

We received a bouquet of 35 daffodils. It's strange that fresh daffodils stink and dried ones smell nice. I let them sit in the vase until they dried out and got a little moldy. I took them one at a time and rotated each flower around until I found the side that looked best. Then I photographed them one by one on black and white film, as if I were taking a portrait of someone.

There are a total of 35 different photos of dry daffodils. If interested, it is possible to agree with the author on the choice of paper and other adjustments, or on manual processing - manual enlargement on baryta photographic paper (individual price offer according to the number of photos.)

Photos from my long-term Home Observations series. Since I've been teaching college, I've been spending more time at home. I observe a sleeping dog, birds at the feeder, objects and random still lifes around me, and the rays of the sun on the wall or on the table.
