Decay # 6 ~ Trifecta

Kent Wiley asked, "I'm really wondering how far you're prepared to go with these decay images. And how far we'll be willing to follow!"

Also, Jimmie Nuffin asked, "Will "The Wife" permit you to leave the rotting food there long enough for it to reach the point of fruit flies?"

Kent, both are good questions and I really don't have the answer to either. However, I can venture a guess to question # 1 - I'm thinking that somewhere around Decay # 40-50, I wmight be calling it quits. That, of course, is only a guess.

My access to decay or my interest in the visual possibilities of decay might have run its course by then. On the other hand, you never know what might rear its ugly head.

As for question # 2 - only time will tell and only you can guess.

Jimmie, you'll have to ask the wife.

Jimmie, all I can say is the gravitas runs almost no questions or choices through the filter of "Will this be ok with the Wife? If so, for how long?"
I believe this project may have sprung from the old pet name I have for him "spoiled rotten man."
I will just stay out of the kitchen until we get to rotten ku #50.

That banana is starting to get interesting... it has a soft, velvet texture and at first glance is braided like hair, or perhaps textured like an exotic chrysalis.

Sometimes the bottom drawer in our fridge could be "Masterpieces" of decayed art.

Mark,

Is the series confined to the plate on the countertop beside the sink? If so, my imagination is a lot worse than what could ever be "acceptable" in the kitchen. It's interesting how the mind stretches possibilities to their farthest point, mostly ignoring the likely steps along the way.
