watercolor and ink on paper. 4"x 6". While enjoying some time on a scooter tooling around New Providence Island in the Bahamas, I went to Adelaide Village to look for subject matter. When I got there some children were outside of a church selling mangoes. Not knowing how one eats a raw mango as well as doubting if I could juggle them back to my place while steering a beat-up scooter, I declined the kind offer to exchange my money for their  mangoes. However I told them I'd pay them to allow me to take photos of them as they  sold their merchandise. They liked the idea, I got my subject matter and they still had stuff to sell.
