Obscene fruitography?

London, ON, March 2007 [Click to enlarge]

Forgive my indulgence: I'd like to revisit the theme of fruitography (if you want a good laugh, Google it. Then go see where it all began.) That's where I shoot closeup pictures of fruits and/or vegetables (no, let's not get started on vegography; one invented word for now is enough.) There's no real reason for this obsession beyond my desire to look at ordinary things in extraordinary ways.

I believe that bananas sit atop the fruit pyramid. There's something essentially perfect about these self-contained, nutrient-packed creations. The out-there color is an added bonus.

So I thought I'd observe my lunchtime dessert closeup before I wolfed it down.

    A wonderful fruit, full of everything that you need for what ails you.
