Description
Garlic still life photo. I love garlic, especially the aroma when it's cooking. Italian food is my favorite, so garlic is always in my kitchen. I bought this garlic at the farmer's market, and will plant each clove soon. This type of garlic grows well in Montana, and supposedly once you plant in the fall, you will never have to buy another head of garlic again. These bulbs are unique looking, so I had to photograph them before placing them in the ground. I wanted to give this one a soft, almost painted affect. Again, loosely inspired by the look of a Norman Rockwell painting, with chiaroscuro lighting; kind of an old masters feel.

The tones, subject and chiaroscuro lighting all remind me of an Old European Masters painting. Very lovely. This is my Pick of the Day in the Best of Minimalism in Photography group for October 25.

Really appreciate the comment, Nikolyn. It is the style I tried to emulate, so means a lot.
