Baby Blue Eyes

Saw this gentleman sitting in his car in the parking lot of the local Dollar General Store. His blue eyes and character lines called out to me and I asked permission to take his photo.
In addition, I'm busy collecting data as I prepare for special event for a group of Assisted Living residents this week. If you have a moment, could you answer the following question: What makes you tick?
This man said, "Living life, just surviving."

This brings tears to my eyes! So beautiful!

[Gena Pegg]

I am a sucker for blue eyes!!! Wonderful shot Kareen!

[Angelieke]

Aaww..sweet!

[Kareen King]

@shesnapped @eyesmile @angeliekevl Thanks so much. :)

[Cheri Bellavance]

You are so much braver than I am. I would try to sneak a shot probably. haha

[Danette Thompson]

You captured him well. Did you know that all blue-eyes people are related?

[Rosie Kerr]

This is a very nice portrait... I feel like you captured this man as he is - not as he might try to be, posing for a camera. Life certainly has left some lines on his face but his blue eyes are beautiful.

[Kareen King]

@rosiekerr Thanks so much, Rosie. :)

[Kareen King]

@danette He told me that a lot of his family inherited his beautiful blue eyes!

[Kareen King]

@cbell I decided to push through the discomfort! :)

[Mannie]

Looks like a man of the land. Salt of the earth type. That kind of people make me tick.

[Nita]

Love the photo and love your story. He sounds like a sweetheart.

[Andrew S]

All those facial lines tell of a life of hard work. Great portrait!

[Hilary]

Great shot, love his eyes

[gayelene]

[Margaret Obey]

Great candid, love his eyes

[Jill Hempsall]

Fabulous portrait shot. I love those incredible blue eyes and all the lines in his face - lines that could tell a thousand stories of where he's been and what he's done with his life.

[Paula W]

A great portrait Kareen. His blue shirt definitely sets off those eyes. What makes me tick? First and foremost my family and friends!

[Chrissie]

Wonderful portrait...beautiful blue eyes!

[Kareen King]

@paulaw Thanks, Paula :)

[Kareen King]

@christinalee @jillhempsall @ceilidh @onlyme111 @hilarymeme @tomtom @sansjuan Thanks so much, everyone! @mbemis And I love your answer, Mannie! :)

[Andrina]

His face has so much character and I bet he could tell a tale or two! Lovely blue eyes.

[Simply Amanda]

Super brave of you to approach him. I want to be able to do this. At this point, I just shoot in the sly. Love the details. What makes me tick? Photography, writing, laughter and love.
