    Characters

    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.

    Re: Characters

    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.

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

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

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