Colorized photo from 1915
Original title: Peddler, East Side
Photographer: Bain News
Location: Somewhere in the Lower East Side, NY
I have never seen a yam cart before, I thought the idea was weird, and that's why I colored it. Plus I liked that one guy staring with that look he had. I still wonder what his deal was. It was like they were a couple, and he was thinking, you are eating now? It will be dinner soon.
This was taken by a newspaper, so it makes me wonder why? Was it because it was that good or was it that he was the first one to think of it? They must have tasted or smelled great, even the vendor behind him seems interested.
Then out of nowhere, that guy in pink just shows up and waves his hat, guess he is like the class clown or something.
In the background, I believe she is making soda water of some kind, the machine makes tonic water and the flavors are added later. But I don't get why its outside, it doesn't look like it can go inside. So people can get free bubble water at night? And if it snows or rains, they have to go outside to get it? Seems like a weird place to keep that thing.
