This man was selling scented candles on a small table in front of the Crawford Art Gallery. The sense of smell is one of our most primitive and releases memories and stirs emotions. He was doing a brisk trade.
When I saw his woolly red hat I had to make a portrait of him!

I really like this. I can see it used in a magazine or something, maybe with an interview with the guy about his job or something. :)

1on1 btw.

Nice shot - the splash of colour catches the eye nicely.
I hope you got some of the hot chocolate while you were there. (0:

Thanks, I didn't get any hot chocolate, but we did buy two hot dogs. Yum.
We should have one of these festivals at least twice a year, or maybe more often! They're great fun!
