More garden porn

This is the current state of my small garden. The squash is starting to produce at a great rate just as the lettuce is starting to get a little coarse. I'm still waiting on my peas, jalopeƱos, corn, and cabbage. There'll be some onions later, too.

I don't have any Edward Weston pretensions, but I do enjoy photographing the richness and variety of the garden's gifts.

Weston made his famous veggie portraits during a period of his career when he was very poor— as indeed he was for most of his working life. He said he would work with his "models" until they began to look a little tired, and then he would eat them. Certainly one way to be sustained by your art!
