So today, we are back in the studio shooting and justifying our indulgent purchases by making them into Art…or at least attempting to.  Seems you do a lot more cleaning of glass than actually capturing images on it but all good things take time.  BUT, my ratio of cleaning to keeping is definitely getting better.

Here is the result of my visit to the vegetable isle yesterday.  I have to admit, this darkroom stuff is really starting to become a habit!  I think Fruit will follow Fungus today…
