拍品专文

'I claim no special knowledge of horticulture that the reader might believe he has a right to expect of someone making a book of flowers. I even confess to enjoying that ignorance since it has left me free to reach with simple pleasure just to form and color, without being diverted by consideration of rarity or tied to the convention that a flower might be photographed at its moment of unblemished, nubile perfection.' —Irving Penn
