Selfie no 5 by joysabin

Selfie no 5

If you look closely into his sunglasses, there I am.

This is Art, who is an ambassador to the city of Winslow Arizona. We were visiting yesterday and after we stopped at 'Stand'n on the Corner', a tribute to the Eagles song 'Take it Easy', when I met Art. He confirmed that the lyric comes from when Jackson Browne was standing on the corner in Flagstaff at the Der Winerschnitzel hotdog stand. It was Glenn Frye who added the additional lyrics. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_It_Easy )

Mr. Art agreed to let me take a selfie reflection in his sunglasses. He told me that he restores old cars also. It was a treat to encounter him. I guess I could say that I've got another entry in my long long neglected 'strangers' project. I was actually standing about 4 feet or so from him when I took this iPhone shot so, this is a cropped image.
Been on that corner a few times when out that way… love the song. Your reflection is very nice in this stranger portrait selfie reflection!

Nice portrait of both of you. And congratulations. You managed to turn Art into art. Not always as easy as it may sound.

@kvphoto Thank you so much, I couldn’t say that even once without fumbling it up. English is my 2nd language, mumble being 1st

@linnypinny Thank you do much. He was very happy to help out an artist.

@marlboromaam Thank you a great deal. Reflection selfies are way more flattering than the standard ones

@cdcook48 Thank you so much. I need to get out more and meet the real good people. Now with a bit more freedom I probably will

@ljmanning Most grateful, thank you so much

@olivetreeann Thank you so kindly, I was in High School when it came out. I think I had the 45

@taffy Thank you a great deal, I am happy with the detail that iPhones can get. Handy too

@redy4et @bkbinthecity Thank you so much. I was all decked out and covered up for the bright and hot sun as my over large floppy hat shows.

@pdulis @k9photo @granagringa Thank you so very kindly, Winslow is a fun place. This town keeps chugging along like the trains that rumble through it.
