Ellipsis Monday Photo Shoot #125: Garlic

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

- Augustus Saint-Gaudens








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.

Pink Peppercorns

I LOVE to cook. I LOVE to take photographs. I can't always do both. But when I can combine my two great loves, I am in 7th Heaven! Pink Peppercorns are delicious and therefore fantastic to work with in my culinary pursuits. Have you ever tried them? They have a slight citrus flavor, which means they taste wonderful on fish or chicken, but sometimes I sprinkle them on fruit salads as well. Tasty.

One of my goals this year, is to do more with photographing food and ingredients. It's one of the most accessible subjects, especially during the winter when it is sometimes just too cold for me to get outside with my camera. I think I will do a whole series on spices and herbs. If you want to join me, let me know and I will try to coordinate something. Leave me your thoughts in the comment thread. If we get enough interest in the subject, perhaps we will do a special Photo Shoot Assignment specifically for the spices and herbs.
