Very sexy, indeed Christopher!

Thanks kindly, Andrew. Funny thing is, eventhough I've been doing nudes for many years, it wasn't until I began photographing vegetables that I was accused of being a "sex maniac", or having a "dirty mind", etc. I get a laugh out of this and usually respond with, "Gosh... you know, afterall ... it's just a pepper!" —or— "Do you eat your vegetables while being blind-folded?" —or— "You'd really freak-out if you saw my photographs of naked humans!" —or— "...then you'd better stay out of the produce department 'cause it's a veritable orgy! —or— "Listen, I won't charge you for the Rorshock test, but .. maybe you ought to see a real psychologist!" —or— "You've got the wrong idea .. this is a tender portrait of a mutant ex-girlfriend".

Sorry. Narrow-mindedness brings out the "wise-guy" in me!

Best,

Christopher

'then you'd better stay out of the produce department 'cause it's a veritable orgy!'...............................If you've been getting plenty of sex, you can really sit back and appreciate the artistic nuance that went into a bellpepper or nude without being miserable, of course if you haven't been getting your share, a tree can look like it's got a nice behind on it.

Wonder what they were thinking when they named that Chinese fruit a Kumquat.

Okay, I knew what snookems meant. As for the pepper, I have no comment.

Hi Jim,

As for the peppers... I'm with you! I don't have any comments either...

I take it that that VW is now a piece of history?

It's still around - dad just had it towed to one of the few Type 2 and 3 VW mechanics around to get the analog fuel injection computer replaced.

Nice shot Chris. Do you have more like it?

Recent images such as Chris' and Darr's considered, perhaps View Camera should consider publishing images of nautilus shells by a variety of current and historical photographers. It's one of the universal touchstones we seem to return to to test ourselves...

They grow all around Tucson, Darr. You just have to cut them up and put them together. I was picking thorns from my fingers for a few days afterwards. Oh, how we suffer for our art...
