New York City Fruit Stand (Posterized Photo) Originally uploaded by randubnick
I took the train down to New York yesterday to spend the day visiting family. It was a short visit, but we made the best of the time we had. At lunchtime, we took a walk down Broadway. We passed this fruit stand on the corner. I love the outdoor grocery displays in New York City, so I took a couple of pictures. Tonight I cropped the image to focus on the pineapple, mango, and kiwi fruit displays (which seems appropriate, given the tropical weather in New York City yesterday). I also posterized the image in Painter IX, and used some color overlays on the kiwi and the yellow sign. Now I have a little souvenir of my one-day Manhattan get-away.

Randa - your book on Gertrude Stein has had such a powerful impact on me. I discovered the book about 4 years ago while studying English and Comparative Literature at Indiana University. Now that I'm in the graduate program in English at NYU, I'm certain that I'll make use of your work once again. Recently I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to "meet" Ms. Stein (this was my first viewing on Picasso's portrait in person). It was a magical experience! Thank you for your book! And if you're in New York City, please let me treat you to a cup of coffee. I would also love to trade e-mails, I'm certain that your correspondence would be of much help to me as I begin my graduate education.
