As Promised I went back to shoot another still life.. this time WITH a tri-pod. These are all of the same pomegranate that I sorda tore apart throughout the shoot. I like these images, but I dont love them. So I can't say that I've succeeded in my still-life quest for greatness, but its definately a start. I think that they would work better for me with an all white background (sorda Avedon-esque) but I may be alone in that thought.

I've been wanting to take pictures of fruits/vegetables like this for quite some time... thinking that it would be just another way of working with light and form. I think this picture is a good start, but its not quite as sharp as I would like so I'm going to re-shoot with a tri-pod. My goal is to make the viewer forget that they're looking at such ordinary produce by bringing forward a more intense beauty by way of lighting.
