This woman was waiting on her daughters at the Thiftyfood Market.We couldn't communicate but she gave me the nod for a picture.I'm not sure what she said to her daughters when they got back...but they all turned around and looked at me.They all walked off chatting in some language I could'nt understand!

Well here is Raymond he has a veggie stand in Atlanta on the corner of Briarciff Rd and Ponce de Leon Rd.He spoke with a jamacian accent.He was a nice enough man.He wasn't so keen on the idea of a picture.i assured him it 's okay to say no,I'm still going to buy the plums,A onion and some boiled peanuts.His friend told him not to but he said okay mon,just not to close.We talked a little while longer and I was explaining the project more to him.He was excited before i left.If anybody's in that area stop by and tell him you seen him on the internet!I ate the peanuts on the way home!i'm using a new editing program that I don't know how to use yet.

This is Blue, he's a traveling guitar player ,a cheesehead from Milwaukee,Wisconson.This is his second time going thru Atlanta.He didn't have much luck the first time,so he guess' it's hit or miss around here!He's just trying to get enough money to move on.I didn't ask him to sing so I'm not sure if he does or not.I let him look at the couple of shots I took and I said I like the one with the head tilt!He told me that was his signature move.I threw a couple of bucks in his guitar case and left him playing.
