Love these photos

These are some photos that I just had to stop and stare at when I walked by them at a local art exhibition. I’m not sure what it is about them… I just really like them!
Avocados by Edward Steichen
Three Apples by Edward Steichen
Lovely rounded shapes are always appealing I think - probably something Freudian in that!
The curator was walking by as I was looking at them and was telling me that they created using gels or gums. It gives them a soft look - and you’re right, I think I really like thr roundness.
I also love the shadows. When I was looking him up, I found another one of his photos that I like - it’s called The Pond-Moonlight. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pond-Moonlight
Gorgeous!
