This gentleman was also a vender at the last show I did. These people probbaly all think I'm insane when we are just talking and I will all of a sudden blurt out "Can I take your picture?"

Photographers are scarry people. I love that little RCA dog look people give you when you ask to take their picture. In fact, I confess. I sometimes miss staying in a conversation instead of framing it my head as a portrait. He has that "salt of the earth" quality to him and looks as though he might have replied: "Sure, little lady, knock yourself out!"

Now there is an interetsting man. He posed very nicely for you. Great pp work Windrider and a great capture. Who could refuse you a picture especially when you make him look this good..

Michelle this is wonderful. I don't have the nerve yet to ask people to take their pictures. I don't know why. But I also don't seem to encounter such wonderful characters as these. He does look like a good ol county cowboy with some stories to tell. I would love to hear some of them. Who cares if he thinks your nuts cause it turned out so well. Great job with the photograph and PP really turned out great.

Amazing shot! Great PP gives it such a rustic feel. Looks like he is straight out of the 1800's. Nice work.
