I've always loved and admired the work of Edward Weston... particularly his shells and peppers. My parents thought I was crazy when I purchased a pepper I saw at the store just because I wanted to photograph it... I definitely saw photographic potential! I am quite excited about how these turned out. Unlike Weston, I shot digitally and in color. I desaturated the color to make the images black and white, but I am excited about how much they look like silver prints to me.
Beautiful! I bought gourds to draw so don't worry, you're not the only one :)
