Hat Check

I love a well worn straw hat! 

Tom's Chapeau

  My friend Tom is one of the few men I know who still wears a hat.  No, he's the ONLY man I know that still wears a hat.   He left his here on the table Saturday at the Pepper Place, while he went in search of iced coffee for Carol and her dad. They gather religiously in the same spot,  and I love stopping by for a chat while I'm shooting and shopping.  Later I begged him to pose for me.  He consented. Très debonair...as always!

BIrmingham Rouge - Girl With Red Hat

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

How about that curl??? 

The Hat

This young man helps his parents with their booth at the Pepper Place Market each Saturday.  Last summer I took the shot on the left from afar.  Last week, he gave me a big smile!

Pepper Place Hats

Well I've been quietly collecting hat photos at the Pepper Place Market for the last few months. It's been so hot, more and more are showing up. I decided to show you a few of them today.
