Shades of Gray...

I always wondered if - waaaay back when, before color film - photographers took pictures of fruits and vegetables?  The photos weren't in color - obviously - so what would be the point?  Right?

I took a couple of pics of some veggies the other day (Meijer's this time, not meanie Krogers).  As you can see, they're kinda frightening.  How would is be possible to ever make a B&W photo of produce flattering?  Who would ever want to eat something that scary? 

I don't eat too many green things, anyway, so it's a moot point for me.

Why am I drawn to creepy stuff this month...what's the deal?
