No, because its obvious if you want a pretty carnation, just leave them for dead! I never did like carnations much...

haha
i tend to agree
there is a beauty in dead flowers
i'm part way through photo-documenting a series of decaying flowers...

not looking forward to the clean up at the end though

i have a question. if i may? I want to invest in a medium format camera... But, I'm unsure as to what type I should buy or where I should go... I looked on ebay, but I have serious aversions to buying used goods online. I suppose I enjoy and trust more when I feel the texture/weight etc... of an object. If you can offer any advice it would be grand, because I'm lost and can't stay this way too long. I have to start experimentation.

Your photographs are so well lit.

I was never really a carnation fan until my wedding - when my florist pointed out that if you tie them into clusters of three or four they KINDA (if you squint and turn your head sideways) look like peonies. Never thought about using dead ones though....;)
