entry description
I like old, I like decay, I find that often things get more beautiful with time, like these vegetables that I have been keeping in my garden in order to see how they age. Colours fade and change, edges soften or get crisper and the innate character somehow gets both softer and sharper and more it. The textures and the withering of leaves, skins and roots of vegetables are wonderful to photograph and they really speak to me as I'm getting older and have past the bloom and freshness of youth.about the photographer
