I came upon these BBQ Green Onions in the grocery store and thought I could make some art with them...
I tried something new thanks to a wonderful photographer, Rick Gayle. It's my first attempt but I am inspired...
On my back looking up and over.
Interesting tidbits around the neighborhood...

This shot took a little longer than anticipated. I didn't shoot tether this time so I viewed every photograph through the camera. Lining up each utensil in a straight line took a little time. This was a fun shoot and I will definitely re-shoot this one to balance the photograph even more.
What did I learn? Shoot tethered, always...Use a fresher looking tomato...bring my white cards in closer. Overall, I'm happy with this one. Learn and grow!
And the final image...
ISO 200, 50mm, f/9.0, 1/125 (Initial metering read f/8 but I bumped it up 1/3rd to f/9 to render more white on the background. f/10 was too much, I tried it. f/11 really blew out the highlights...
Not often do you get your picture taken in an MLB dugout.
