Hey, did you place that
pretty flower, or was it
already there? Or does
that make a difference?
"Charlie" - ha ha! Not
the more formal "Charles",
for a Cambridge scholar?

The flower was there - that was the motivation to shoot!
Oh, okay, good - seems
to make a difference. I
read that Al Hitchcock
would be quite precise
about any little thing that
was in his viewfinder's vision,
even a little gum wrapper
or something at the bottom
of the screen that wouldn't
be noticed...
