Day 8 – 365 Days of Photography

1-8-2014

The vibrancy of color, the sweetness of taste, the appeal of nourishment, all can be found in our tropical fruit.   As I drove around San Fernando, I thought it fitting to bring you pictures from my local fruit vendor.  They’re located on Scott Street and get quite the clientele.

I took multiple shots but decided on one that really depicts the vibrancy of color and the atmosphere of the busy street.

Here you can see the majority of the fruits on display and a few of the ground provisions and vegetables.   Of primary note are Portugals (type of tangerine), Mangoes, Oranges, Paw Paws (papaya), Sorrel, Pineapples, Grapes, Apples, Grapefruits, Bananas, Bags of Corn, Onions, Cassavas (yucca), Sweet Bell Peppers, Tomatoes, Cabbages, Cauliflowers, Plantains and many others not in view.

Today - Tropical Fruit

Runner Up Shots: 

I toyed with a black and white version of the fruit / vegetable stand, but settled on the color (depicted above) to show the vibrancy.  Below you can see the black and white version, it’s an entirely different shot that I took.

In addition, I took a close up of the starch mangoes and that of the grapes.
