Heirloom Tomatoes

In early August I went to Whole Foods and found some strangely shaped and sensuous tomatoes.  To my recollection, I had never seen them before.  But of course they are not a new invention - Heirloom Tomatoes.  I have purchased 40 pounds of these luscious tomatoes, both from Whole Foods, Wade’s Market and Upper Forty Farm.    I certainly have had a lot of tomatoes the past weeks.  I photographed them in a diffusion box.  I also tried natural light.  In the end there were a few images that I really loved and I hope you do too.

You might wonder what I did with the 40 pounds of tomatoes.  I cut them up, added Vidalia onion, basil, string beans and for the last few weeks I have been eating this with steak, eggs, hamburgers and even the occasional veal chops.  It is very good.
