another great find at a roadside boiled peanut stand. this man was such a kind man. he looked like the last man i shot in the street. and very similar personalities. i love meeting people through photography.

interesting...one eye exudes softness and the other a great amount of intensity. I don't know if anybody else will see that or not but that really jumped off the page to me. You are braver than I am at this point and I don't yet fancy myself a people photographer but one of these days I may get there. Nice capture

I noticed about his eyes too pjflan7..good description. I think this portrait stands out, I like it.

They say the eyes are windows to the soul... His eyes seem to want to tell a story. Nice job on the capture. Very interesting looking man. I'm with Patrick. I don't have the courage just to photograph strangers yet. On a sidebar, I haven't seen a boiled peanut stand since I was a kid... We don't have any out here in CA. Wish we did though.

Love the shots of the guy selling the peanuts...Hate boiled peanuts. Peanuts are meant to be roasted and salted. Not eaten in a soggy shell.

Jeff, well done! I'm with FTBOAH on the peanuts

Great captures Jeff. Nice of him to give you a nice pose.. And I see he has a sense of humour too. Two more excellent portraits Jeff.
