Description
This is PJ one of the music traders that I bump into regularly at the summer festivals around the UK.This was spontaneous. He was trying to sell a music book to one man while selling a guitar to another guy and trying to keep an eye on a bunch of other people who were all over his stall at Towersey Festival.
He was hung over and knackered as were all the traders and most of the punters.
I forced myself to take some people pictures.

Thank you Peter. It's not my usual thing, most of my images don't have people in at all but I was very pleased with the way this one turned out.

LOL -- isn't that sometimes the way? Extraordinary images being those we don't normally make.... I find it so.
Anyway.... keep up the good work.

An excellent b/w study - great detail, and brings out the obvious character in his face.

Was this a pose, Tony, or spontaneous? Just asking out of curiosity that's all. Either way I like it very much, especially the light on his shoulder, neck and right face.

Hi Steve. This was spontaneous. He was trying to sell a music book to one man while selling a guitar to another guy and trying to keep an eye on a bunch of other people who were all over his stall at Towersey Festival.
Hewas hung over and knackered as were all the traders and most of the punters.
I forced myself to take some people pictures so there may be more to follow.
