I take photographs with the hope people will look and see more. I don’t analyze. Rather I am looking for interesting shapes these edible have. Just as people have varying attributes. Usually they are bought, chopped cooked and eaten. I take time to find the “perfect” ones for my portraits. Looking thought my lens, I discover additional flaws. Their uniqueness makes them worthy of my camera’s attention. These edibles represent the beauty of nature. I prefer my portraits to be simple. These edibles are presented as if they were displayed in a museum, like a sculpture on a pedestal.
