Jan 9th, 2020 : Pomme Queen

William Mullan photographs and writes about apples, both in books and as the Pomme Queen on instagram.
OK, but if for some dumb reason you wanted to do that too, if you head down to the supermarket, or even the farm stands, you’d
run out of material real fast. Believe it or not there are over 7000 varieties of apples in the world an astonishing amount of diversity.
But Apple growers and sellers aren’t interested in 99.99% of them, only the ones that look good, grow reliably, travel well, store well,
and produce most profit per acre... if they taste ok that’s a plus.



Some aren't pretty and some aren't tasty but they all fill a niche somewhere.



Modern day Frankensteins can use these as lab fodder or give to unliked teachers.
