Artist's Comments

I took this photo in 2005 for a photography assignment in which we had to emulate a famous photographer. A very special "WHOO-HOO, YOU'RE... great" to whoever guesses the photographer. Chris - you don't count.

Anyway, it was darkroom printed and then scanned. Minor level adjustments and healing brush. I used a very nice (borrowed) macro lens, which was really fun to use. I photographed these on a cloudy day (diffused light) to bring out the tones on the rounded parts of the asparagus. The intention was to give it a sense of three-dimensionality. I think there's quite a good tonal range here.

i didn't do photography...but was it the guy who made capsicums and stuff look like people...actually i don't know if such a person exists or i made them up... i really have no idea...just the image of capsicums lingers in my mind...

i hate asparagus, but i like the pic

wow. i never thought i could stare at a peice of asparagus so long. i like it. its very stare-able. The grainy-ness of it makes it look...almost warm? i know that sounds weird, but it does, it makes it look nice and soft. The lines and all that make it nice to look at too. i really like it. could i get a print?

ah yes, the point of art criticism is to use words completely incompatible with the subject matter. so you're doing great!

print eh? sure as hell.

I think that this is amazing. I love the contrast, and how it almost looks like a school of fish rather than asparagus at first glance. Great work!
