Edward Weston photographed green peppers over a long period of time before he settled on the images we now know as Pepper #30.
To those who repeatedly found something sexual in his imagery, he said:
“As you like it ‒ but this is just a pepper ‒ nothing else ‒to the impure all things ‒ are impure.”[
