I made thousands of pictures of anemones for a period of more than two years, searching for those that looked like watercolors, prints or traditional art, but in no way like normal photographs. The whole idea was just to forget that the pictures were made with a camera.
I fanatically bought all of the anemones I could find. The flowers I collected were not always as good as I expected. Some were damaged, some were rotten, and some leaves were eaten away.
Trying to combine the pictures of the "good" anemones with those of the "damaged" anemones did not work. It was fun however to concentrate
on the pictures of the most damaged ones. I “developed” them using Adobe Lightroom, which enabled me to transform the "rotten appearances"
into colorful fresh presentations, which was just what I was looking for.
