Baguettes, Farmer’s market, Imperial Beach, California, 2014
I used a close-up vantage point to stress the varying textures on these baguettes, and then cropped the image so that the ends vanish, and the rhythmic diagonal positioning of the loaves draws the eye through the image.
Bread can be a boring subject, but it can come alive when we move in close to contrast different textures, cropping the image to partially abstract the scene enough to stimulate both touch and taste.
