It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

And Now For Something Completely Different, 2
Three weeks ago I saw a red pepper in the grocery store, and so bought two - one to photograph, and one to cut up and put in my salad. Only I left the photographic one out on the shelf, and in a day or two it was beyond photographing. Who knew? So I saw this one yesterday and bought it. I set up a light tonight and here it is. At least I haven't given you another snow photograph. I am amazed at the shape that some of these peppers take - they are astounding. I have no idea why they seem to double back on themselves. But this is the second one I have seen. I am fascinated by the form, of course, and spent time looking at it to come up with the most interesting angle.
Very cool! This looks like a Henry Moore sculpture sprayed with red high gloss enamel paint.

Wow! You are so right! I never thought of that, but the minute you suggest it, it seems just like that!
