Very intriguing . . . I love their lovely faces. Black and white makes the images more soulful. You have a very good eye.

Thank you RR, will be posting more.
Interesting project, good luck on the road…
Thanks, post from the road are already available though, this series of portraits features the people interviewed for the documentary project.
What an interesting way to view a trip — not as landmarks and scenery but the faces of everyday people along the way. And the slideshow approach works so delightfully here.
Thanks, glad you appreciate the approach.
These are great portraits π

Don’t know how I missed this in my reader when it was published a couple of weeks ago. Great photos, except I don’t think my wife will appreciate hers too much — π
Seeing these brings back fond memories of meeting you guys. Whether we are in Allendale or anywhere, you’ll always have a place to crash if you want it.
Hi Joey, thanks for dropping by and checking it out, like I said these were taken on the fly! Thanks again for welcoming us and look forward to meet you again.
