Street art, Boise, Idaho, 2010

A street artist left this interpretation of the Potato as King of Idaho, on a Boise alley wall. I move in on the work, abstracting it to stress the incongruous fractures dividing it down the middle. It seems to imply that this multi billion-dollar industry is, like many other farming enterprises, now facing difficult times.

I think they still eat their potatoes, Bernard. And hopefully others do as well, because most of their crop is devoured out of state. Thanks so much for the link to your street photos down under -- I shall peruse.

Are the good people of Idaho changing their eating habits Phil, changing over to rice? At least this is not a green spud, love this rosy cheeks character. if he's still smiling, then all will be well in the long run. Enjoyed your beaut images. Here is some of street art from "down-under". http://www.pbase.com/bernard74/street_art

Mr. Potato Head has not lost his crown, yet. People are still eating Idaho potatoes.

It's important to smile even in tough economic times!
