Giverny Gardens

People often ask me what photographers I am most impressed by or inspired by. I have a weird answer in that I look at paintings more than photography. Don't get me wrong, there are hundreds of great photographers I admire, but I try not to look TOO much at their work in case I accidentally fall into a groupthink. Anyway, one of my favorite painters is Monet of course. We went to visit his home in Giverny, France, where I took this photo of his gardens and lily pads.
