Last year, we did not see many artichokes in the grocery store. Not a high demand item in the best of times, and of course the pandemic did not help. I hope that changes this year. Sometimes it is nice to have a whole artichoke for dinner. It can be enough on a hot and humid evening. I photographed these two beauties right before preparing them to eat. I do that often enough that perhaps I should put together a book of these images. The provisional title would be Shoot and Eat. Captured using the Rolleiflex SL66 and the 150mm f/4 lens. That was my favorite lens prior to getting my hands on the 120mm S-Planar. I used a boutique film, Washi S. It is a sound recording film that gives an interesting look to the image.
