avocado by summerfield

avocado

and now for something completely different....

an enormous amount of etsooi went into this shot, i almost balked. i was debating between avocado and a collage of sushi but a rather brilliant idea popped in my head as i was already eating the avocado. i remembered that there was an album not so long ago with a half of an avocado on a gradient blue background as the cover but i couldn't recall which singer or band it was. (as you know my musical know-how had been stymied since the 1980's by the noise and so-not-musical songs from that decade up to recent times - with very few exceptions of course. when are the young people going to learn how to make decent music? okay, don't let us get started.) so i did a parody except i couldn't get how to do the gradient thing on photoshop.

i'd tie this in with the song title challenge because i know weird al yankovic had a song that parodied the eagles' song "desperado" but yes, let's not go there.

and that concludes my self-imposed food photography challenge this week.

thank you, kind folks, for your wonderful visits and comments; know that they are greatly appreciated.
Very clever shot!! I like it!

Well I like the simplicity of this, the grand use of negative space and the intense contrasting colors.

@bill_fe - just keep your zucchini away from my avocado. :-P

It was a good choice to put such a vibrant blue in behind these avocado-green avocados! Makes them look even more yummy!
