To me, bread is the ideal food!  It is also a feast for the senses...nothing smells or tastes better than a freshly baked loaf of bread.  Bread can also be beautiful to look at with its varying shapes and textures.  For me, bread's appeal comes in its simplicity and its versatility...good on its own but also a team player when it comes to a sandwich or french toast or bread pudding.

When I photographed this loaf of freshly baked pumpernickel, my goal was to try to capture those attributes that make bread my pick for the ideal food.
