EMPS #125: GARLIC. NOW CLOSED!
I LOVE to cook. Sometimes I cook with GARLIC! When used in small doses, GARLIC and be very good for you. Not only does it ward off vampires, it is especially helpful to the immune system! Not everyone likes the taste, or the smell however. So, if you don't use GARLIC in cooking, no problem. Simply photograph it. You can photograph the bulb, the clove or even the blossom! If you can't even bring yourself to come that close, then you always have the option of photographing a container of ground GARLIC at the supermarket!

Extra Credit: Show us the herb you use most often in cooking.

Martha's A-Z Photo Challenge: "G" Is For Garlic

"What garlic is to food, insanity is to art."

-Augustus Saint-Gaudens

Time for the letter "G" in Martha's A-Z- Challenge! I have always wanted to photograph a bulb of garlic on it's own, I find them very photogenic, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity! I had a good time playing with lighting and shadows, and I even considered photographing the bulb of garlic in black and white, but in the end I thought the color mode gave the photo a more realistic and softer touch. Tonight it will used in Spaghetti ALA Carly! :)

If you would like to play along with the A-Z challenge, just drop by Martha's journal on AOL for all the details!
