This was taken at Wave Hill, in the Bronx, on a sunny June afternoon. I love creating almost abstract images out of everyday objects, in this case, the table, the drink and the beet chips form a composition that says "Summertime." But they also create an image of beautiful color and contrasting texture.

I was there with my friend Pam, and was happy for an afternoon away from the noise and rush of city life.
