Terrific shot Kenneth! It looks like it could have come out of the 1981 "Life" magazine article about small towns in the US! CJ

Just wonderful. I absolutely agree with Rod. This has a classic feel to it and it's quite wonderful. Excellent work! -Christina

I agree with everyone else, this is a fabulous portrait, Kenneth! However, it is too big. Please reduce it from the 157,524 bytes it is now, to or less than the 153,600 bytes it should be. Thanks! ~Sharon

Don't have anything to add, this photo is just great.

Yes this was actually taken in 1981, years before the digital revolution. Mr. Moore lived in the small community of New Site, Mississippi, population of about 800. The photo was taken in the country store that had been in his family for generations. A few years after I made this photo Mr. Moore passed away and the store closed down. One of the great things about photography ... it keeps memories alive. Thanks Mary Anne and Shu for your comments. -- Ken

I have a big smile! (We all know a "Mr.Moore. He keeps the past alive.) I like his supply of onions. This is the type of image that keeps one lookin'. shu
