Well, it’s about time.

After 5 years of photographing greenmarket produce, D.A.Wagner has opened an Etsy store to sell prints of his exceptional digital photography of fruits and vegetables for the kitchen and home.

Twitter Works. Really. It Does.

Twitter works. Maybe in mysterious ways, but it works. Since I started tweeting a little less than a year ago I have been asked to write for Leaf Digital, Photocrew, The Photo Argus and other photo communities and blogs. I’ve met some pretty interesting photographers, retouchers, assistants and art directors. Many are just people I [...]

Shooting From The Hip #37

Some days I see tableaux. Some days I see boxes with piles. It depends upon where I look and what my eyes (and brain) decide to see. It’s been proven in studies that we see what we want to see, depending upon what our current state of mind is, what we’re looking at and for [...]

Shooting From The Hip # 36

Nothing special, but I have to imagine these little fish might have been swimming in this formation before they came to the market. Tasty.

Shooting from the Hip #35

It’s amazing. After a long winter of storage these beets are bursting with life. As a kid, I remember taking potatoes with toothpicks and sitting them in a glass of water to sprout. Sounds lame when you compare that to surfing the web for half pipes in San Diego or looking for used laboratory equipment [...]

Shooting from the Hip # 34

Nothing says “Spring” like twigs with blossoms. So, I’m going to assume winter is officially over, even if we still have 10 days to go. Somehow, mushrooms don’t say “Spring” at all.

The leaf is dead, but the apple lives on. I find it amazing that apples keep for so many months after harvest. According to AskMen.com (a web site for kitchen challenged men, among other things), “if stored in a cool, dry area (the basement and the fridge drawer are always good picks), apples can last [...]

Shooting from the Hip #32

Where’s the purple broccoli? I make my marketing message as clear as possible because I want the attention of the smart, little shops with brilliant creatives who fly under the radar, as well as the equally brilliant big boys. I’d certainly lose the interest of those I wish to work for if I sent out [...]

Greenmarket in the Studio #10

A vision evolving. While in the process of this particular exploration I’m finding there is a lot of failure. Not failure in the sense of exposure or composition, but failure in concept and vision. And, there’s certainly no value in putting images into my book simply because I did it. Right now, I’m developing the [...]

Shooting from the Hip #31

Swaying like the tops of pine trees blowing in the wind, these end of season romanesco broccoli are actually an edible flower in the Brassica oleracea family (cauliflower, not broccoli!). Now that the clocks have been set back, I don’t have to get up quite as early to capture the more dramatic early morning light [...]
