Excellent! Thanks for posting. Makes you wonder how many great artist/photographers have passed us by without any recognition... sad, in a way.
"Vegetable Photographer"...
A designation new to me.
very nice , now i'm interested in learning more about the man & his work . i'll have to pick up a copy of his monograph " plant kingdoms : the photographs of charles jones ( the outsider genius saved from obscurity by chance discovery ) " . his story is a fascinating one & the so called discovery of hundreds of his photographs of vegetables , fruits & flowers found in a suitcase in 1981 has helped bring his work to the masses .I found a book of his photographs in a bargain pile in a university bookstore. My other hobbies include cooking and gardening.

If any of us are interested, we can request seed and nursery catalogs be sent to us by people in that business and we will see that plant/vegetable photographers are still active today which makes me wonder if, perhaps, he was famous during his lifetime for his work. Maybe he just died and that is why he was "forgotten". The same thing has happened to others. I am 86 years old but I assure you, the world did not begin the day I was born though sometimes I like to think so.......Regards!very nice , now i'm interested in learning more about the man & his work . i'll have to pick up a copy of his monograph " plant kingdoms : the photographs of charles jones ( the outsider genius saved from obscurity by chance discovery ) " . his story is a fascinating one & the so called discovery of hundreds of his photographs of vegetables , fruits & flowers found in a suitcase in 1981 has helped bring his work to the masses .
