Great !

Like your reference picture :))
Did you see the documentary about him on Teema, maybe one or two years ago. A very interesting one.

Yes, I have seen it. That's what inspired me to take this shot ;-)

The topic of latest photo assignment by Ted Forbes at The Art of Photography is food. There he showed examples like bell pepper shot by Edward Weston, which can be seen as a parable for human body.

So, I decided to take some portraits =D

A more detailed article about Mike Disfarmer and also about Vivian Maier:

Both are great, of Vivian Maier was also a documentary, very special person at the least :))
The pictures of Disfarmer are just fantastic

Good work, Sami !

I've never heard of this artist before, so you taught me something new! Yours is a humorous take on the subject; well composed still life, Sami! :-)

Val, you may find this interesting:

There it is said Mike Disfarmer most likely did not see himself as an artist ;-) The way how we define art and artistry is very much changed during last decades.

Disfarmer obviously was skilled and professional. But for example the way he used background was either super lousy or an intentional joke! See the images where Disfamer has used white background with vertical black lines. Placing that line sometimes right behind the subject is just crazy! =D

super paprika picure

Well framed and the processing very much suits the subject, Sami.

Hehehe...
I am jealous of Disfarmer's photography - and of yours!

(me too !)
