Apples posing

Many friends and others have told me of the recent New York Times story about a striking collection of apple photos.

In “Odd Apples,” William Mullan chronicles — and idealizes — rare varieties of the fruit. https://t.co/68HR0xBDxY

The photos are by William Mullan, who got most, and perhaps all, of his apples from the Union Square Greenmarket in Manhattan.

They are lovely images, and the online version of the Times story has a wonderful slide show of 18 of them. (Cover the lower right and test your apple-recognition skills.)

The photos were originally available as a book. "Were" because limited edition, and sold out now—especially after that Times story!
