beauties at dusk

I bought my first digital camera when I was 13 years old. I pooled together all the money I saved up from tutoring, babysitting and chinese new year red envelopes. I used to shoot everything in my neighborhood -- flowers, street lights, cars, etc. Flowers were a favorite because I felt like it was something you couldn't mess up -- shooting people was terrifying (and still is at times). Sometimes it's nice just to grab my camera and go around the neighborhood documenting the the beauty there.... no coordinators, no centerpieces, no spectacle.
