Sometimes You Just Have to Call It a Vegetable
June 13 – June 28 2011
the Hive
301 Jefferson St. Oakland CA

This is an installation of thirty SX-70 Polaroid images of vegetables and fruits. The images have
various little yellow dots, price
color distortions, and other imperfections which are caused
either by the chemicals in the film casings or by the aging mechanics of the camera itself. In honor of the compassion for context that must from time to
time “just call it a vegetable”, I photographed these vegetables using
the last, the very last of my Polaroid film.

My thanks to the Oakland Whole Foods for permission to take these photographs in their produce section.
