I was born on my Great-Grandma Emma's birthday. If it seems I shoot a lot of flowers it's because she had an amazing garden in her backyard in rural Minnesota and I inherited her green thumb. I grew up, lived on the coast of California, and down south in Georgia. Flowers are universal. They speak the same language wherever you go.
