I then found myself in a photographic quandary. How to show the whole collection, along with the defining edges of the box, but also see the small items clearly. Hmm. Guess I need a detail shot as well.
However, I really wanted to tell the whole story with a single image. The multiple exposure I then created lacked the elegance I sought.
Summer Harvest
Later in the day, driving home from dinner at The People's Pint (delicious local food) I listened to Aphrodesia, a world beat band that mixes American R&B and African Pop, a James Brown and Fela Kuti hybrid. (One way I connect with my students is to solicit music from them. I play tracks as they come into class. A student recently laid Afrodesia on me.)
As I listened, a quandary solving vision came to me. Click image to enlarge.
Summer Harvest II
I grooved to Aphrodesia as I put these pieces together.
