The Jigsaw Man by Bruce Clarke

I grew up in Lymington in Hampshire, UK where this guy has been running this jigsaw stall for 20 years on Saturdays. His family have had stalls there for 50 years. I remember his dad shouting '2 for a pahnd'. He died about 5 years ago.

I really like this one a lot too Bruce. It's a fellow in his element; puzzels! I keep looking around as if I could make a purchase from him. And like most shop owners he is keeping an eye on me in case I look "puzzeled" and need help or to make sure I don't try to run off with a piece of a puzzle. I just have fun looking at this portrait!

Thanks Charlie. I've been meaning to take this for years, and the portrait challenge got me moving. I tried with the 14-54 to start, but you can't beat the old 7-14 for sucking in the surround. He's a lovely guy, and people come for miles around to stock up, Bruce

I love how you were able to capture so much information here. Gives some real perspective to the place and the man. Like the history too. Thanks Bruce. charlie
