Watermelon Man

Saw an old man selling watermelons from the back of his bakkie (utility vehicle) parked in the area opposite the town library. So I stopped to buy one of his watermelons - I like to support "the little guys" rather than retail outlets when possible. He agreed to let me take a photo but I didn't manage to get anything good yet as he was too shy to look at me, and other people were stopping to buy from him. He said it would've been better 20 years ago because he wasn't so wrinkled then, and I replied his face probably wouldn't have been so interesting 20 years ago as it is now. Maybe next week he'll be there again for another try at better composition
Great story Desi and I’m sure you gain his trust and get an even better shot.
