From 2004 - Acrylic Cubes

We were in Chinatown one day around the New Year here in Houston, and came across this vending table in a big tent they had set up.

One of the best photographers I've met, if not the best photographer I've ever known personally, is a guy named Doug Fonville. We visited Mexico together one time where he took loads of pictures. One of the best captures from that visit was from an open-air market, where he asked the vendor to put her hand on a grapefruit that was in a big pile. For some reason it turned into a marvelous picture that has stuck in my memory ever since.

So, that's the reason I asked my daughter's friend to put her hand on the acrylic cube. It does add interest, and breaks the monotony of the pattern.
