仔细观察，那些常常理所当然被认为是不起眼的东西，往往会揭示出整个宇宙的迷人细节和不寻常的特征。你只需要有一双正确的眼睛来观察它们。威廉·穆兰（William Mullan）就是这样。小时候与非传统类苹果品种Egremont Russet的邂逅，令他印象深刻。从那时起，他就开始探索各种苹果品种，用充满爱意、时尚优雅的肖像画捕捉它们各自的魅力。正是这种奇特的魅力与迄今为止的未知结合在一起，吸引人去研究这种所谓的普通水果。穆兰完全展现了它们的奇特美学，并邀请我们在视觉上开展一场苹果大探险。

Upon closer inspection, inconspicuous things that are frequently taken for granted tend to reveal a whole universe of fascinating details and unusual features. You just have to have the right eye for them. This is absolutely the case with William Mullan. His encounter with the varying appearances of an Egremont Russet apple gave him a taste for it. Since then, he has explored the vast range of apple varieties, capturing their individual charms in loving, stylishly elegant portraits. It is precisely this odd charm combined with the hitherto unknown that make these photographs fascinating studies of a supposedly commonplace fruit. Mullan confides completely in their idiosyncratic aesthetics and invites us in this attractive gift book to embark on a visual expedition into the world of the apple.
