I Was Amazed By How Beautiful The Flowers Were: Diderot Yaps Best Phone Picture

The Amsterdam-based artist on an image that captures colourful memories of his hometown in Cameroon Diderot Yap had often seen the dainty red flowers of the Ixora nbspcoccinea shrub and the larger yellow nbspflowers nbspof the Allamanda plant in his home nbsptown of Douala, Cameroon. Heading home from an early morning errand, he took a moment to appreciate that days idyllic weather and these vibrant pockets of nbspcolour nbspframing his walk. An idea for a photograph was nbspblossoming. I was amazed by how nbspbeautiful they were, so I nbspgently cut just a few, says Yap, a nbspphotographer and visual artist. I was living with my friend Martino at the time he was in his mid-20s back then extroverted, sociable and always keen to make everyone feel comfortable.
