“…O’Keeffe separated herself from the sexual interpretations of her enlarged floral studies. “I made you  take time to look at what I saw, and when you took the time to notice my flower, you hung all your associations with flowers on my flower, and  you wrote about as if I think and see what you think and see of the flower — and I don’t.”

–Georgia O’Keeffe.

When I started taking my photos, I had no idea how famous these flowers became and how they became such a seminal subject of American art. O’Keeffe insisted on defining herself; she would not have liked social media.

See you in the morning.
