The Three Amigos

I’ve been shooting fruits and vegetables for so many years in the studio and in Union Square and other markets, that it has produced an ongoing relationship (get it? Produce? Oh, never mind…). Richard Avedon once commented, “I’ve worked out a series of nos. No to exquisite light, no to apparent compositions, no to the seduction of poses or narrative, and all these nos force me to the yes. I have a white background. I have the person I’m interested in and the thing that happens between us.”

Somehow I’ve managed to do that with fruits and vegetables.

    Beautiful photography, beautiful web site. The Three Amigos did it! Let’s talk about a children’s book or two. I know it’s corny, but a best seller.
