I had to share this photo, which is "Untitled". I just picked up the most recent issue of Harper's Magazine (March), and this was in the "Readings" section. The photographer is Holger Niehaus, and his work will be exhibited in September at the Van Zoetendaal Gallery in Amsterdam--I wish I could go see it! I have never heard of him before, and I just Googled to see if I could find out more about him (guessing that Holger must be a man's name?), but everything appeared to be in Dutch. So I will have to do a bit more research later.
Since forever artists and photographers have been creating still lifes, but I have never seen one like this before. I thought it was so imaginative I wanted to show everyone. This is a truly creative person. I think I am somewhat creative, but there is a most definite limit to my abilities. This is someone who really goes beyond the obvious or accepted. This is the sort of creativity I wish I had. The ability to see something totally new. How many fruit still lifes are out there-thousands? And this one person thought to peel the fruit! So, here is a little inspiration to see beyond the "skin" to what's inside!
