I was looking through some old files for pics of strangers to post in that popular thread and came across a file I had labeled "characters". And a though that might be a good theme for another thread. So here are a couple of characters that I found. Now lets see yours.

Nice characters Larry. The faces really tell a story. Just wonder how they look in black and white.

Good thread! I had one guy at todays event that I thought would be perfect here, but I didn't get to shoot him :( But this guy works too! His name is Hawk (he has it tattoo'ed across his fingers.

GREAT idea OT!

The two women are the "characters" here trying to "force" the officer to let them through the blockade. The officer is also a character in his own right - meaning he had a wonderful sense of humor and doing his job at the same time.

Don't know if these two count as characters or not?

That purple guy seems kind of familiar not sure where I've seen him before. But I agree he is a real character.

I have a couple I took a few years ago. These two characters were in a place where I worked once, barrel of laughs!

Great ones Tink. That gentleman looks like he's a real ham. I'll bet you could have a ball photographing him.

Various shots from the past.

#4 is our own Photo-John and #5 is our own Ray.

Yeah I've got to agree those last two are real characters alright.

A shot from back in 2003 with my old cannon sd550. A silly picture from a heritage town near where I live.

Does the character have to be real?

I wasn't fooled by their seemingly gruff appearances.


The little tidy napkins were a dead give-away.
