Last weekend, I saw this artist at Union Square painting a street scene involving the famous street seller/demonstrator of the Swiss vegetable peeler. Check out the websites of Kitty of New York Portraits and Strangetastes of St. Louis Daily Photo for actual photos of the same scene.So do you have a veggie peeler? I don't!!

fabulous shot Ming.
Yes I have a peeler... for my cucumbers & beloved potatoes, & sometimes carrots.
I hope you are eating your veggies Ming!
The artist is phenomenal! Did you see him sell his sketches there too?
Peeler - I got one & can never bother to look for it when I need it.
If you don't eat veggies you have no need for the associated peeling implement :)
Of course! But I rarely make use of my veggie peeler. I'm a huge apple eater, if I don't have French Goldens in my fridge I go nuts, but always with the skin.
beautiful photo ,i love this streets artists !
A peeler?Of course ;)
In France,the veggie peeler is called an "économe". Do you understand that its means? No??
Lets go to our dictionary...
You left a comment on Denver Daily Photo about people wearing shorts and sandals in Nov. I just wanted to let you know that photo was taken in July. We have 5 inches of snow on the ground right now so now summer clothing for us. I haven't worn shorts in months. lol. =D
Really lovely photo Ming.
Of course I have a peeler for the veggies, potatoes, etc. And I just used it for Thanksgiving. Doesn't get as much use as it should though.
How was your Thanksgiving with friends?

That picture is awesome. That man is really talented, and no, I don't have a veggie peeler lol.
Yes I do have a veggie peeler - he is called Gary1 When he is not doing exactly what's in this image- art,then he is chief coffee maker, veg peeler and garbage taker out. He may be the BBC'S famous artsist but not when he's at home.
Nice pic...the detail in the artist sweater and the painting is incredible...kudos to the new camera.
Hi Ming! Hope you didn’t grow fat on Thanksgiving ;) and survived all the awful news in the media this week… ;(
Veggie peeler? Always... ;))
The Dino is superb!
Salvatore Ferragamo, 5th & 56, always on my way to the old Drake... Beware, don't bring your cards... ;)))
Meanwhile Blogtrotter is still in Tunisia, waiting your comments at the Blue Village! Hope you enjoy and have a great week!
Great photo of a great painting in the making. Also I liked the links!
I'll have to check with Phoebe if we have a veggie peeler!
Oh I want a new veggie peeler like Babooshka. I think Gary is just the thing i need. Your shot is perfect Ming.
BTW, I got that Flickr thing figured out. now I have a photostream thing going and you and Peter ( you were both in the Junk Mail for pete sake) are now Contacts,
I think. It's too much for me to figure out.

Of course I have a veggie peeler. Although, I would be much happier if I've had the talents this gent does. :)
I love the fact that you're documenting this kind of timeless activity, something that'll be recognized a hundred years from now.
That's an amazing painting...such talent! Thanks for capturing it and sharing.
I could have sworn this was Paris!

Very cool! That guy is a celebrity. And now on canvas and on the web!
That veggie peeler is there every week....and he draws a huge crowd. Wonder how many he actually sells.
