Cool Dude

I will admit that I'm often drawn to hair or hairdos as we called them growing up.  Whether it's a toddler with a halo of golden curls or this guy's great locks yesterday at the Pepper Place.  As I sat listening to the music, I  turned and spotted him.  I took about 10 photos before I got up and told him that I loved his hair and been photographing him for a while.  Found out he was from Continental Bakery, one of my favorite haunts.  He and I will reconnect one day soon and I'll share my photos.

This Thursday, July 10, I will be presenting TRAVEL TO PARIS at the Hoover Library at 2:00 PM here in Birmingham.  I hope you will join me!

100+ Strangers Challenge - Man With Blue Umbrella

It's been a long time since I shared one of my 100+ Strangers.  This gentleman was sitting at the Finley Avenue Flea Market, selling used goods from his car.  We stopped and I asked if I could take his picture.  He was happy to oblige.

Business or Pleasure?

I love the Urban Standard on 2nd Avenue downtown.  Interesting people inside and out.  I'm always fascinated by the mix of those who come to enjoy the good food and conversation, and the others that find it a nice getaway for gettting some work done.  

Tough Guy?

Not so much!  I spotted this sweet girl with her daddy at ArtWalk 2011.  When she's a teenager can't you just hear her saying, "DAD! I can't believe you're going to wear that hat. I'm humiliated!"  Or maybe she'll still know she has a VERY cool dad!

Do you think I could pass this up?  Luckily her mom agreed.

How about that curl??? 

Saturday Morning Shopping

You know by now that I love photographing the Pepper Place Market. I fear I overdue it at times and then, I think of all the wonderful people I meet, the music, flowers, dogs, fruits, vegetables, vendors, and the endless experiences that I savor ( and photograph) each and every week. How on earth could I deprive YOU of all the fun? For me this place is BIRMINGHAM! So today a photo that pretty much sums it all up for me.
