Farmers Market in Brooklyn, New York, USA
My postcard describes elements from a normal day at my local farmers market. To add a level of complexity to the image, these elements form letters that spell out ‘Brooklyn’ in a playful ‘hidden message’ style.
Place you live? Brooklyn, New York
Can you sum up your spot? I live in Brooklyn, New York, which is a short subway ride away from Manhattan. Brooklyn has a low-key atmosphere and is filled with families, young professionals, dogs and college students. There are lots of great cultural opportunities to take advantage of including museums, parks, shops, flea and farmer’s markets, restaurants, etc. And if that is not enough, nearby Manhattan has much much more.
