This is an extremely risky post for Cattle farmers – you are going to turn everybody into vegetarians! However i think an Artichoke is a better model than a food.

Essence of fall harvest….I don’t know if Ive seen a better photo of tomatoes than that first one, the colors are so beautifully conveyed. The beet has a wonderful intimacy…the artichokes, who could resist them? I like what your choice of focus did with the apples, they’re lively, going in and out of focus. The pluots – just perfect – I love that flat presentation, where it’s all reduced to color and shape. It’s always a pleasure wandering SF with you, Jane!
