One of the stalls at the St. Patrick’s Festival Market sold perfumed soaps and other crafts. This French gentleman owned the stall and cheerfully told us that he’d be travelling the country until his stock ran out, at which point he’d return home and have to do household chores for his wife!
I think he enjoyed life on the road.

Nice shot and portrait, really does look as if from another era.
That’s an amazing photo. Brilliant.
Excellent capture. It looks like a very old photo.. maybe it’s his hat? I love it!
Wonderful portrait! You have a great eye for people.
Thanks guys, he was a nice guy and obviously enjoying himself in Cork. I wish they’d organise markets like this more often as they’re very interesting!
Great portrait! He doesn’t look like a soap seller, though. He looks a little rougher than that. You did a wonderful job capturing the man.
Great character study. A real classic portrait look.
Beautiful portrait! Well done !
Wow.
Love this, love the weathered look of the seller, you really conveyed the essence of the subject in this shot. Well done
Beautiful charcter study….very good.

Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Soap, and we’d love to have your photo added to the group.
Love the picture. It shows lots of character in his face. I wish mens hats would come back in style, they really add something.
