Today we went to the spring fair in Stuttgart where this man was selling balloons. He didn't speak German but nodded in agreement to have his picture taken.
Dull weather and the lazy light has somehow given this pic an unusual sense of space which your gentle touch has preserved. Makes for a simple shot that lingers around. And that guy must have checked himself out with a color scheme generator before he left home !
Oh, he looks like a real character - but he needs a good feed I reckon :) Jeannie @ 2006-April-16 22:29

Jeannie's right...he looks like a real character. The baackground really stands out here and it plays well off his red jacket. Nice informal portrait. Regards, Brent Brent Vermilyea @ 2006-April-17 01:22
