While walking through Alphabet City, Manhattan, New York, I came across a fruit vendor. His cart caught my eye because it had an abundance of these bananas hanging off it's right side. Mixed with the bananas were Plantains also known as Plantanos.

My idea was to capture the wonderful delicious color of the fruit so good it's name is synonymous with going insane - BANANAS.

My goal was to not only capture the bananas, but show how different they are from one another. I was shooting with a Canon FD 50mm 3.5f lens on a Canon 5D mark II. Although it was very bright outside, I wanted to reduce the depth of field as much as possible, to allow the color and texture speak for the entire photo.
