PITTSBURGH -- A child plucks a Twinkie from a tree, as if it grew there.
Another Twinkie stands in for Jesus in a re-imagining of Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper."
Such are the interpretations of the snack by members of the American Society of Media Photographers' Pittsburgh chapter.
For its annual object show, held at Point Park University this year, the group selects one object that members must incorporate in their creations. Past items have included an umbrella, a baseball and a piece of wire.
Tom Altany, chairman of the exhibition committee, said his wife suggested the famous cream-filled yellow cake.
Altany contacted Interstate Bakeries Corporation -- the Kansas City, Mo., company that makes the Hostess snack -- to see if they'd be willing to help.
Turns out, the Twinkie will turn 75 years old this May and the company supplied nearly 1,000 Twinkies for the artists and to be given away at the show, which runs through April 7.
Several photographers said they appreciated being able to eat their subject.
