Spend a little bit of time in front of each fruit or vegetable. Start at the back with the potatos and leeks and the other roots, then move through mushrooms, greens and into the fruit itself - citrus, apples, out towards the front door, ending with the stone fruits. Pictures would be nice. Or pie ideas. Or just some thoughts inspired by your prolonged exposure to produce. You could spend hours inside the Manhattan Fruit Exchange.

Check it out! It inspired me and now I live in Prague. I wouldn't be here without it. Honest. Just discovered your blog through AbbyTrysAgain. :-)

I would have given anything to have had a camera with me. So my humble suggestion is "Hidden Beauty"...you certainly have an eye for it and I think it would be a fun thing to look for.

My boyfriend + I often dream about a motorcycle (w/ side car) trip through Europe or China. I am fond of processes, series, daily rituals, if you will. I have never been to NYC so I'm not quite sure what to suggest. Street food venders holding your robot or penguin? It might challenge you the way asking a cop to hold your softies on Coney Island did. Good luck with your assignment, I look forward to seeing it unfold.

I'm all for Lisa's suggested tour of NY art spots... I've never been there! And as to the Long Way Round, I repeatedly watch it on dvd to relax... (with a little bit of envy thrown in too). take care, g Ooh, I’ll put my thinking cap on - how exciting. I’m all for Lisa’s suggested tour of NY art spots… I’ve never been there!

I have seen this done before a few times, but it is great to see a repetitive figure going all over the place! I would love to see you visit the empire state building and take pictures of the trip there and took creative pictures using the angles of the building. I love all of the ideas so far!
