The ‘carrot man’ passed away on Sunday, at 75.
This is the best photo I ever took of him.
New York will not be the same without Joe Ades.
What! What! I used to see this man everyday after school, I always admired his ability to create a crowd out of thin air. I always wanted to ask him how he did it, made something from nothing, now the secret stays with him. The smart bugger, he’s probably selling those carrot peelers in his after-life, and all the spirits are flocking to him one by one to see him go.
I know I would.
